A $50 million investment brings the Inuit Nunangat University closer to reality, aiming to support Inuit students and culture.

The Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) is closer to establishing the Inuit Nunangat University, thanks to a $50 million investment from the Mastercard Foundation. The university, rooted in Inuit culture, aims to promote language retention and support economic and cultural opportunities. ITK needs an additional $160 million to open in 2030, including a request for $50 million from the federal government. This initiative seeks to remove barriers for Inuit students in accessing post-secondary education and to equip them with degrees relevant to their communities.
