Crown Wards:
If you are or were a crown ward and spent at least one full year in foster care, you may be eligible for a full waiver of your tuition and ancillary fees. Contact the Enrolment Services office for details.

Entrance Scholarships:
If you have received an entrance scholarship it will be applied directly to your account.

Other Scholarships:
There are many organizations that offer scholarships to students, some with specific and unique criteria. Review the scholarship opportunities and applications listed on ScholarshipsCanada.com, some of which may fit your situation. Submit as many applications as you can.
