Are you a Métis student pursuing law-related studies or training? Apply for the MNO Justice & Legal Education Bursary Program! This program is designed to reduce financial barriers and support Métis learners pursuing legal education and legal service professions, creating more pathways for Métis voices into Canada’s legal system.

This program is funded by a grant from The Law Foundation of Ontario’s Access to Justice Fund, as part of its commitments to Truth and Reconciliation and access to justice education for Indigenous students across Canada.
