LA&PS Emergency Bursaries
We know that these are unprecedented times. You are not alone if you are in need of immediate short-term financial relief because of lost wages, emergency travel or unexpected expenses.
The LA&PS Emergency Bursary is administered by the Associate Dean, Students in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. This fund is positioned to help students who are experiencing financial need due to the following:
- loss of wages
- unforeseen circumstances
- emergency travel
- housing insecurity
- food insecurity
- basic needs
Quick Links
Note: Due to limited funds, this bursary will NOT fund a student’s entire financial need. Typically the maximum bursary is $500, with $500 only being given in extreme circumstances. Both full and part-time students who meet the above criteria are eligible to apply. If eligible, students can only receive emergency bursary funding once per academic year.
Undergraduate Students
To be considered for funding, applicants must demonstrate financial need and have completed the Financial Aid, Awards and Scholarships (FAAS) Application for the current session.
Graduate Students
Graduate students should apply for assistance through the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS).
