In-course Scholarships, Bursaries & Awards
Please note that general fall bursary/award funding is disbursed by early December based on applications submitted earlier in the term. All winter semester awards are nominated by faculty, and therefore do not require an application. Applications for Winter semester Trades students and applications for emergency bursary funding are available in the winter term.
