Student Services Grant

The Student Services Grant combines several categorical grants into a single grant, providing greater flexibility to school divisions in deciding how to allocate their student services dollars. It is anticipated that this flexibility will allow for better matching of services to local needs and more effective programming for students.

The following categorical grants which were allocated separately are now included in the Student Services Grant:

Level I Special Needs
Students At-Risk (SAR)
Early Behaviour Intervention (EBI)

The Grant was designed to assist students:

with mild to moderate learning and behavioural difficulties
considered “at risk” due to social, emotional, behavioural, or physical factors that impact on their ability to succeed in school
who require behaviour intervention in the early years
