Indigenous Pathways Program

Building Futures for All

Dalhousie Engineering is launching the Inclusive Pathways to Engineering Program. The program is designed to remove barriers and help students of all equity deserving groups access the support and resource required to pursue a degree in engineering. The Indigenous stream of the program will launch in September 2024.

We have partnered with Ulnooweg Education Centre to support this exciting initiative.
Ulnooweg helps empower Indigenous communities through the delivery of educational programs and initiatives.

The Inclusive Pathways program will offer tailored supports, resources and opportunities to Indigenous youth.

The Program will also include a bridging year for students who have completed their high school diploma. These preparatory courses will provide students with the opportunity to upgrade and complete any course required for admission to the Engineering program.

  • Skill development (writing and planning)
  • Tutoring
  • Mentorship
  • Career Advising
  • Scholarship and bursaries
