Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government plans to provide between $1,000 and $5,000 for students who volunteer to help deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trudeau did not say when the new Canada Student Services Grant will be rolled out, but says specific supports will also be set up for Indigenous students.
The prime minister says the federal government is also planning to extend research grants, fellowships and other support to graduate students and researchers.
The new measures are on top of $9 billion in support for students unveiled last week.
