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 due to COVID-19.
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 exceptional or unexpected circumstances. However, the LA&PS Emergency Bursary Fund is not positioned to help with major, ongoing expenses and is not intended for covering tuition fees.
Typically, the maximum for this bursary is $1000, with $1000 only being given in extreme circumstances.
To be considered for funding, applicants must demonstrate financial need and have completed the Student Financial Profile (SFP) for the current session.
Note: Due to limited funds, this bursary will not fund a student’s entire financial need. Both full and part-time students who meet the above criteria are eligible to apply.

- be in enrolled in the Faculty of LA&PS
