Northern College Bursaries for Students

Northern College awards student bursaries during the fall and winter semesters at our campuses. The online bursary application system is opened for student applications during the month of September and again in January. We also have external bursaries, which are not part of our internal application process. Some are based on faculty nominations, administered by external organizations, and/or via mandated assistance programs etc.

Please check with your campus Financial Aid Officer to see what else you may be eligible for.

To access the online bursary application system, follow these instructions:
