The NAQ'S History

Out of a desire to address the lack of student scholarships stemming from numerous refusals as a result of changes to the Indspire Program’s selection criteria, the Native Alliance Of Québec worked with the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples to improve the offering of scholarships for Aboriginals living off-reserve in Québec. 

The Native Alliance of Québec is therefore very pleased to announce that the contract for the Congress of Aboriginals Peoples’ ASETS Scholarship Program has been renewed and enhanced for 2020-2021.
