Bursaries are administered by the Scholarships & Student Aid Office and are non-repayable forms of financial assistance based on demonstrated financial need to help undergraduate students with the additional costs associated with the extra opportunities.

Your Faculty will determine which opportunities shall be recognized for consideration to apply for the EEO bursary program. It generally involves a vetting/selection process, academic oversight and clear learning outcomes.

Eligible EEOs may include:

  • Field Courses and Field Study Semesters 
  • Unpaid or insufficiently paid Internships and Research Opportunities (excludes Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ on-campus or in affiliated hospitals and research institutes)
