Humber Bursaries

Tuition Bursaries

Tuition Bursaries are non-repayable grants. Humber offers a specified number of bursaries available to new and returning students. Tuition bursaries are awarded in amounts of $500.00, $750.00 or $1000.00, depending on the program of study, to students who can demonstrate financial need. You must be a Canadian resident and registered to attend Humber as a full-time student to be eligible for this bursary.

Apply early! The application deadline dates are:

•  Spring 2013 Admission – April 30, 2013
•  Fall 2013 Admission – July 27, 2013
•  Winter 2014 Admission – December 14, 2013
•  Spring 2014 Admission – April 30, 2014

To apply for a Tuition Bursary, you must complete the Interactive Budget Calculator online (found at https://srs.humber.ca under Financial Planning). This is a secure website that will allow you one chance to submit the Tuition Bursary once you have provided the required financial information, so you need to ensure you submit a well planned budget based on an accurate estimate of your income, savings and expenses.

Please Note: If all Tuition Bursary funds are awarded before the deadline date, there will be no more bursaries available for the year. Once you have submitted the application, no changes can be made and you cannot reapply in the same academic year.

Financial Need Bursaries

Financial Need Bursaries are available if you have a proven financial need. They are awarded on an individual basis upon consideration of expenses, income, family support, part-time employment opportunities, academic standing, and personal circumstances.

Students who wish to determine if they are eligible for a Financial Aid bursary should see a Financial Aid Advisor.
 

Student Access Guarantee Bursaries

Student Access Guarantee Bursaries are available to OSAP students only whose tuition is over $4,500 and have an “unmet need” under the OSAP program based on tuition and book costs as identified by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. This is an automatic process and a cheque will be issued to those students who meet the criteria, generally distributed at the start of the second semester. Eligible students will be notified by the Financial Aid office.

Ontario First Generation Bursaries

Ontario First Generation Bursaries are for students with a proven financial need and who are the first in their families to attend post secondary education. Application is by invitation only (usually in February of each year).

First Generation students are identified by Humber through the HELP Survey (http://www.humber.ca/helpsurvey) and OCAS.

Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund (OSOTF) Bursaries

Since 1996, Humber and the Ontario government have teamed up to raise over $1 million for bursaries. The money raised remains at Humber in an endowment fund, and the interest is given to students in financial need.

These bursaries are available to full-time post secondary students who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons as well as an Ontario resident with a demonstrated financial need.

Applications will be available in the Financial Aid office mid October of each year.
