The application deadline for new and returning students is July 1st. The amount of the award typically varies between $500 to $1500.

SSU BURSARIES

Looking for a part-time job while you are in university? Why not work for SSU! A limited amount of work bursaries are available during the school year. Positions will be posted at the start of each term and applications will be made available. After an interview, the successful candidates will be informed. Payment will be made directly to your account as a credit.

FORGIVABLE LOAN PROGRAM

SSACE, a partner of St. Stephen’s University, offers a great opportunity for your friends to participate in your educational and spiritual growth. The “Forgivable Loan Program” (FLP) permits qualifying students to receive a loan to pay for part, or all, of their tuition and living expenses.

To ensure the availability of funds, students are encouraged to solicit donations to the FLP program. Donations to the program may be made by anyone with the exception of parents, grandparents, siblings and spouse of a student applying for a loan. All gifts to the fund are receipted for income tax purposes.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND BURSARIES

If you apply for student loans, your Provincial Student Financial Services office will automatically assess your eligibility for such grants and bursaries. A separate application is needed only for the Grant for Services and Equipment for Students with Permanent Disabilities. The forms can be downloaded from your provincial student loan website.
