Awards & Financial Aid

There are many organizations that offer yearly bursaries and scholarships and we post whatever we receive on our GRAD TEAM.

Every year we have a Microsoft Team with all our graduates and a channel is dedicated to what we call “External Bursaries and Scholarships.” 

Remax Quest, Loran, and Schulich Leaders are three that are regularly posted in the early fall. Grads can subscribe for notifications to come from that channel so they know when anything new is posted.
