Bursaries
Bursaries are a supplemental source of funding for students with demonstrated financial need; that is, they should not be treated as your primary source of funding.
Bursaries are available to Canadian and International students. You should be aware that you may not be awarded a bursary every term. Due to the high volume of applications received each term, the payment of funds may not occur until the middle of the term of application. We encourage you to plan accordingly.

Full-time enrollment is enrollment in a minimum of 6 units in the term of application in a per unit fee program, or enrollment in the term of application in a per term fee program (leave of absence is not eligible).
