The Access Program: Supporting Equity Deserving Students
Our goal is to help you envision post-secondary education at McMaster as a world of possibilities instead of barriers. There are funds to help. |
McMaster’s Access Program connects equity-deserving students and those from historically under-represented backgrounds with information and supports to set them up for success in university. |
Equity-deserving groups often include: |
• |
Students with parents who did not attend, or complete, post-secondary studies (first-generation university students) |
• |
Indigenous students |
• |
Students with disabilities |
• |
Certain racialized minority students (especially youth with Afro-Canadian and Latin American backgrounds) |
|
|
|
• |
Students from low-income families and neighbourhoods |
• |
Adult learners who are new to post-secondary education |
• |
Students from rural communities |
• |
Women (in some disciplines) |
• |
Students who wouldn’t attend post-secondary without additional programs or supports |
