Applied and Professional Studies Bursaries and Awards

The following awards and bursaries are available to students in the Faculty of Applied and Professional Studies.
For most awards, you need to complete only one
application form which is available online through Web Advisor October 1 and must be completed by November 1. These awards are considered "in-course" awards and are applied for once the fall term has begun.

Although in many circumstances it is indicated that an application is not necessary, if financial need is a criterion of the award then eligibility is determined on the basis of whether a student has applied for OSAP, bursary assistance or Ontario Work Study/Nipwork. As part of our commitment to the Student Access Guarantee, bursary assistance may be provided, if warranted, to ensure that tuition and book costs are met.
 
Note that to be considered for, and to receive the majority of our scholarships and awards you must be registered full-time (at least 18 credits).
