Bursaries

Bursaries offer help to students with established unmet need (ex. a student loan) who are performing satisfactorily in an academic program as a full-time student. Bursaries do not need to be paid back. Funds are credited directly to your student account.

Please note the bursary application is normally open September through January. All current students are emailed when it opens.
