OTTAWA — The dream to open an Inuit-led university is one step closer to realization, the president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami said, after a $50 million investment from the Mastercard Foundation.

The organization, which serves as the national representative organization for Inuit in Canada, said the funding will allow it to build key capacities and advance academic plans and course development.

A costing assessment from ITK says it needs $160 million from the public and private sectors to open a main campus and develop initial degree programs. It aims to open the doors to students in 2030. He said Inuit Nunangat University will remove barriers that prevent many Inuit from accessing post-secondary education and equip them with degrees to support the needs of their communities.

"This is going to be a university where people who want to go to university in Inuit Nunangat will be grounded in Inuit society and also have a full spectrum of educational opportunities that include learning more about our society and our practices."
