    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I apply for multiple financial assistance programs?

    Yes, you can apply for multiple programs, but you can only receive one type of financial assistance at a time. If you qualify for multiple programs, we will award you the one that provides the greatest benefit.

    How is financial need determined?

    Financial need is assessed based on your household income, number of dependents, unusual expenses, and other financial obligations. Our committee reviews each application individually to determine the level of need.

    Do I need to repay bursaries or scholarships?

    No, bursaries and scholarships do not need to be repaid as long as you maintain the required academic standards and fulfill any other conditions of the award.

    How will the payment system maintenance affect my application?

    The payment system maintenance does not affect financial assistance applications. You can still apply for and receive financial aid. If you're approved for a payment plan, we will work with you to set up alternative payment arrangements until the system is restored.

    When will I be notified about my application decision?

    Applications are typically processed within 2-3 weeks of submission. You will receive an email notification once a decision has been made. During peak periods, processing may take slightly longer.
