Supporting student success
We pride ourselves on our commitment to the success of our Inuit, Metis, and First Nations students.
Programs, resources and services for student success are offered through our Chinook Lodge Aboriginal Resource Centre.
SAIT promotes understanding - not only of the culture and values of Indigenous peoples, but of all peoples - and provides the opportunity to meet, engage, and learn together as one diverse community.
Our supporting partners
Chinook Lodge is supported in its efforts to serve SAIT Indigenous students by a wide variety of organizations and companies.
These public and private sector partnerships make it possible for us to provide services, offer scholarships and bursaries, facilitate Indigenous student employment, and organize special events and activities. We are truly grateful for the ongoing support of our sponsors and partners.
A thank you to our founding corporate sponsor, TC Energy.
