Bursaries

Eligibility requirements:

• all current MtA degree seeking students registered in part-time or full-time course load
• students with demonstrated financial need
• students who are seeking financial loans from a financial institution or government student loans

Priority will be given to students who demonstrate an urgency to purchase food, books, or to pay rent.

• list of financial resources to pay your first year of study
• list of living expenses
• expand on your student statement ― answer why you need financial assistance; disclose any extenuating circumstances (death, loss of employment, illness, change in family dynamics, or other)

If you've accepted a bursary from ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison, the amount of your bursary will automatically be applied to your student account — normally before tuition and fees are due.

Bursaries are normally disbursed by term:

• 50% at the beginning of the fall term
• 50% at the beginning of the winter term

Should your bursary place your student account in credit, you can request funds by submitting the online request form found in your Connect account.

Approved in-course bursaries will be automatically applied to your account in the term(s) for which it is awarded.

The submission of applications does not guarantee a bursary. All applications are considered on an individual basis and are dependent on available funding.

Students should exhaust all avenues of available funding including parental contribution, summer employment savings, part-time employment, student lines of credit, investments, and government student loans, etc. prior to applying for a ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison bursary.

Bursaries are not retroactive. Only expenses for the academic year in which the student is applying will be considered.

If the student has a spouse or partner who is also attending ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison, each partner must submit a bursary application outlining their share of expenses and resources.

If the student has a spouse or partner who is not attending ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Allison, the student must submit a bursary application outlining all resources and expenses for both themselves and their partner.

If you are a returning international student who has demonstrated financial need, you can apply for the Class of '33 International Student Bursary for the upcoming academic year.
