The LA&PS Experiential Education (EE) Office will offer two streams of funding for the Fall/Winter 2024-25 academic year to support LA&PS students participating in Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experiences. These bursaries are designed to provide financial assistance to students in the Co-op Program or enrolled in a Course-Based Placement. We are committed to reducing financial barriers and supporting WIL experiences, which offer valuable skill development and often serve as students' first exposure to the professional workplace in the field. Please review the information below to check your eligibility.
Co-op Bursary
