Financial aid

Worry less about your tuition so you can focus on your studies! Whether you are a full-time or part-time program student, there are financial assistance programs available to you. We can match up funding options available to you, check to see if you meet the eligibility requirements, and help you understand the application process.

Scholarships, awards, and bursaries

To add to your main sources of funding, you might want to consider our scholarship, award, or bursary options. While scholarships and awards are generally based on a combination of academic performance and community involvement, bursaries are designed to focus on students in financial need. Get familiar with all options and find the best one for you.
