Bursaries and Grants
Need-based financial aid is usually awarded based on a combination of demonstrated financial need and a specific minimum cumulative grade point average or CGPA. The Chang School’s bursaries are administered through AwardSpring.
There are two types of need-based financial aid available for continuing education students:
- Toronto Metropolitan bursaries for continuing education students (see below)
- Government assistance, including the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
How to apply for bursaries through AwardSpring
- Have/Create a student number.
- Enrol in a Chang School course and pay the applicable fees.
- Create an AwardSpring account as all Chang School bursaries are administered through AwardSpring.
- In AwardSpring, submit a general application and your qualifications will be matched to all financial aid opportunities for which you are eligible. If you are not matched for a specific opportunity that you are interested in, there is at least one qualification that makes you ineligible. Check your AwardSpring account for updates.
- For detailed financial assistance information/dates, please refer to the following: AwardSpring Student Guide, Financial Information Guide, The Chang School, and/or Registrar's Office.
