Who can apply?

Day Scholar Survivors and Descendants include individuals who attended an Indian Residential School as a student during the day but did not sleep there overnight OR individuals whose parents attended an Indian Residential School as a student during the day but did not sleep there overnight.

To be eligible, an individual must have attended one of the schools on the “Schedule E” lists of Residential Schools that did or could have had Day Scholars.

For eligible Day Scholars who were alive as of May 30, 2005, but have died since then, a claim may be made on behalf of the estate.

If you are a member of the Day Scholar Survivor Class or Descendant Class, it’s very important to learn as much as you can about the settlement because it does impact your rights.

You can search and filter Schools Lists, explore the map of schools or reference Schedule E [PDF] to check if a school you attended is on the list.
