Bachelor of Education Bursaries and Awards

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.
