Internal Funding

There are 4 main types of awards:

  • Exchange bursary (application required)
  • Bader College bursary (application required)
  • Automatic Exchange and Bader College Awards (no application required)
  • Study Abroad awards (application may be required)

If you are selected to receive an Exchange or Bader College Bursary the name of your bursary may be amended to a Named Bursary. Only the name of the award will change after a student has been selected; the value of the Exchange or Bader College Bursary assistance will not change depending on the name of the award.

We encourage you to look on the Financial Aid and Awards website at the named bursaries and automatic awards available as some of these are for students in particular disciplines and/or studying in certain countries.

In some cases awards listed as available for exchange are also open to students participating on study abroad programs. Consult with the relevant departmental website and Financial Aid and Awards for the most up-to-date information.
