Award Value

Total award: $5,000

Disbursed in two installments of $2,500 at the end of each term.

Installments are only released if the student remains full-time, active, and in good standing.

How the Funding Works

This bursary uses a tuition-first approach:

• Remaining funds go to future tuition

• Students may receive a reimbursement only if no tuition is owed

• Second installment is contingent on continued full-time enrollment in the next term
