Day Scholars Revitalization Society Launches its Second Call Out for Applications for Day Scholars
March 16, 2026, [WESTBANK FN, BC] – The Day Scholars Revitalization Society (DSRS) is an Indigenous-led organization dedicated to Day Scholars through the revitalization of language, culture, education, heritage, wellness, and commemoration.
The DSRS launched its second call for applications through the Day Scholars Revitalization Society from February 17, 2026, to May 15, 2026. The $50 million fund will provide financial support to Day Scholar Survivors — those who attended Indian Residential Schools during the day but returned home at night — and their first-generation Descendants to revitalize their languages, cultures, and heritage while accessing healing, wellness, educational and commemoration opportunities.
The Day Scholars Revitalization Fund is separate from the Day Scholars Compensation Payment. The Indian Residential Schools Day Scholars Class Action (compensation payment) claims period is now closed. Deloitte administered the class action compensation. The class action provided individual compensation for harms experienced from residential school. In contrast, the DSRS fund focuses on supporting Survivors and first-generation Descendants’ revitalization journey.
The Day Scholars Revitalization Society’s current information can be found on the DSRS social media platforms at:
We’re encouraging Day Scholars to check their eligibility by visiting our website at www.dsrsociety.ca where Survivors and their first-generation Descendants can find detailed eligibility criteria, application steps, and additional resources.
