Information will be verified by Seneca’s Financial Aid Office. 
• Indigenous students: students who report being an Indigenous person, that is, First Nations, Metis or Inuk (Inuit). 
• Students with disabilities: students who report to have a difficulty or impairment due to a long-term condition or health problem and/or experience a limitation in their daily activities. Students must be registered with Counselling and Accessibility Services at Seneca.
