What is the Student Refugee Program (SRP)?

SRP is a program that Nipissing University is proud to actively participate in. The SRP program is one of WUSC’s longstanding programs, being active since 1978, and helps refugees achieve their dreams of obtaining a post-secondary education here in Canada.

At Nipissing we sponsor students for 3 years. Each Nipissing student contributes $2.50 each year to this program. We also raise funds through our annual Ten Thousand Villages Sale.

Nipissing University has graduated 3 SRP students to date and is welcoming a new student on campus in September of 2017.
