Education and Early Childhood Learning

Indigenous Academic Achievement Grant

The Indigenous Academic Achievement (IAA) Grant is a supplemental fund provided to assist school divisions with current programming and new initiatives to improve academic success for Indigenous students. The grant is an important part of Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning’s emphasis on Indigenous education. The Indigenous Inclusion Directorate administers the IAA funds.

Each school division must include information on the IAA grant in its planning and reporting process. The complete report and plan is required by October 31 annually. A minimum of 50% of the grant allocation must focus on strategies to produce measureable improvements in literacy and numeracy, specifically for Indigenous students. The remainder of the grant, if any, may support educationally and culturally relevant programming.
