Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards


We've created a student awards program that provides financial support while recognizing the diversity and needs of our students and celebrating their achievements.

Through the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Foundation and many generous donors, we are pleased to offer a number of opportunities for scholarships, bursaries and awards to our students. Awards may be specific to a campus or program and have varied application criteria and deadlines.

Each year, bursaries and scholarships are available in varying amounts to students attending one of six campuses in the province.
