The Student Awards Office provides scholarships, bursaries and awards information to entering and continuing undergraduate students, linking them with valuable financial resources for post-secondary studies and recognizing their academic achievements.

Students should plan for financing the costs of university from their first term through to the completion of their program. Paying for a university education is ultimately the responsibility of every student and is a major financial undertaking. To access financial assistance, apply for awards and government student loans well before the start of the academic year and be aware of the application deadlines for awards and government student loans. Although each student’s needs and resources differ, the University can provide a list of general fees and expenses. Refer to the “Fees Schedule” section in this Calendar for details.
