The Government of Canada provides funding to First Nations to build new schools, renovate and expand existing facilities, and operate and maintain existing education infrastructure. Education infrastructure can include school facilities such as classrooms, gyms, science labs, sports fields, home economics and shop facilities.</p> <p>Between 2010-2011 and 2015-2016, the Government of Canada invested some $1.5 billion in school infrastructure including building new schools, major additions, renovations and the operation and maintenance of existing facilities.</p> <p>Budget 2014 committed $500 million over seven years (starting in 2015-2016) for education facilities, plus $175 million in additional funding.</p> <p>As part of the Enhanced Education Infrastructure Fund, ISC has also established an <a href="/eng/1456154039297/1533642270665">Innovation Fund</a> to provide funding to First Nations communities to build school facilities that are innovative, promote education reform or achieve cost savings.</p> </section> <section> <h2 id="chp2">Who can apply?</h2> <p>First Nations communities.</p> </section> <section> <h2 id="chp3">Deadlines</h2> <p>To be eligible to receive funding, First Nations communities must submit their First Nations Infrastructure Investment Plan every year to their ISC <a href="/eng/1100100016936/1534342668402">regional office</a> by September 30.</p> </section> <section> <h2 id="chp4">How to apply?</h2> <p>There is no application. Funding is determined based on information provided in the mandatory annual <a href="/eng/1440084290678/1533645718223">First Nations Infrastructure Investment Plan</a>. This report details the First Nation's infrastructure plans over the next five years and alerts ISC of any proposed capital projects the community may require, including education facilities projects. An updated report must be provided each year before capital funds are released to First Nations. This report should only include eligible projects under the Capital Facilities and Maintenance Program.</p> <p>Proposed projects are assessed by ISC regional officials and prioritized according to the School Priority Ranking Framework. The results guide ISC's investment decisions about education facilities. The framework uses nationally established criteria that consider:</p> <ul> <li>condition of existing facility (with a focus on health and safety)</li> <li>overcrowding</li> <li>accessibility to off-reserve schools</li> <li>design (grade distribution and amenities offered)</li> <li>cost-efficiency opportunities (external funding sources and aggregation)</li> </ul> <p>Other factors taken into account include: </p> <ul> <li>state of project readiness </li> <li>cost-sharing opportunities </li> <li>opportunities to achieve efficiencies </li> <li>innovative solutions and financing</li> </ul> <p>For more information, contact ISC through our <a href="/eng/1291132820288/1603310905799#sec2">public enquiries centre</a>. </p> </section> <section> <h2 id="chp5">Related links</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/eng/1487257531777/1487257558734">Improving First Nations schools on reserve</a></li> <li><a href="/eng/1326828445933/1533650275139">School Space Accommodation Standards 2016</a></li> <li><a href="/eng/1473165918907/1473166089372"> National First Nations Consolidated Infrastructure Investment Report 2014-2015 </a></li> <li><a href="/eng/1450362516631/1450362753744">National First Nations Consolidated Infrastructure Investment Report 2013-2014</a></li> </ul> </section>  <div class="row row-no-gutters mrgn-tp-xl"> <div class="col-sm-7 col-lg-6"> <section class="gc-pg-hlpfl provisional"> <div class="well mrgn-bttm-0"> <form id="gc-pg-hlpfl-frm" action="#" method="post" autocomplete="off"> <input type="hidden" name="institutionopt" value="Institution acronym - required - must use same value EN and FR"> <input type="hidden" name="themeopt" value="Indigenous peoples"> <input type="hidden" name="language" value="Language - required - use EN or FR"> <input type="hidden" name="pageTitle" value="Page title EN - required"> <input type="hidden" name="submissionPage" value="Page URL - required"> <input type="hidden" name="sectionopt" value=""> <input type="hidden" id="helpful" name="helpful" value="Yes"> <div class="gc-pg-hlpfl-btn"> <div class="row row-no-gutters"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-7 mrgn-tp-sm"> <h2 class="mrgn-tp-sm h5">Did you find what you were looking for?</h2> </div> <div class="col-xs-8 col-sm-5 text-right"> <button id="btnyes" type="submit" value="Yes" class="btn btn-primary">Yes</button> <button id="btnno" type="button" class="btn btn-primary mrgn-lft-sm nojs-hide">No</button> </div> </div> </div> <p class="h3 hidden nojs-show">If not, tell us why:</p> <div class="gc-pg-hlpfl-no nojs-show"> <fieldset> <legend class="h4 mrgn-tp-0 mrgn-bttm-md">What was wrong?</legend> <div class="radio"> <label for="problem1"> <input name="problem" id="problem1" type="radio" value="I can't find the information" data-gc-analytics-wtph-value="I can't find the information-Je ne peux pas trouver l'information" data-gc-analytics-collect="notPrivate"> I can't <strong>find</strong> the information </label> </div> <div class="radio"> <label for="problem2"> <input name="problem" id="problem2" type="radio" value="The information is hard to understand" data-gc-analytics-wtph-value="The information is hard to understand-L'information est difficile 脿 comprendre" data-gc-analytics-collect="notPrivate"> The information is hard to <strong>understand</strong> </label> </div> <div class="radio"> <label for="problem3"> <input name="problem" id="problem3" type="radio" value="There was an error / something didn't work" data-gc-analytics-wtph-value="There was an error or something didn't work-Il y avait une erreur ou quelque chose ne fonctionnait pas" data-gc-analytics-collect="notPrivate"> There was an error or something <strong>didn't work</strong> </label> </div> <div class="radio"> <label for="problem4"> <input name="problem" id="problem4" type="radio" value="Other reason" data-gc-analytics-wtph-value="Other reason-Autre raison" data-gc-analytics-collect="notPrivate"> Other reason </label> </div> </fieldset> <label for="problem6" class="mrgn-bttm-0">Please provide more details</label> <p class="small"> <strong>You will not receive a reply.
