International Student Emergency Fund
All learners can be eligible for emergency bursaries as long as they are registered and in good academic standing.
Learners must not have any outstanding tuition and fees owed to the college when they apply. Emergency bursaries are for learners experiencing an unforeseen financial crisis that is affecting their ability to attend class and be successful. Typically, these requests would be related to basic needs such as food, shelter, etc.
Emergency bursaries cannot be used to pay for tuition and fees. You can apply for the International Student Emergency Fund through the student awards portal.
