George Burris Study in England Awards

This grant was established by a bequest from George Burris to support 国民彩票 students wishing to study in England. Grants will be awarded on the basis of academic and extracurricular excellence, financial need, and international experience.

The grant supports:

  • Study, work, or practicum placements of at least four weeks in duration
  • Course work that a student will receive six credit hours for toward a 国民彩票 degree
  • Reduced level of support for placements with service or educational programs sponsored/recognized by the university

Criteria for selection:

  • Strong academic achievement
  • Extracurricular achievement
  • Currently registered as a 国民彩票 student in good standing

Application

We suggest applications be submitted at least four to six weeks prior to departure, to allow enough time to review the application and process the necessary paperwork.

Note: The grant does not provide retroactive funding. We recommend that you complete the funding application as soon as you are accepted into an international program.

The maximum award is $5000. This amount is pro-rated depending on the length of time you will be abroad. The guideline applied by the committee is approximately $625/week up to the maximum.

The award amount is also dependent on your budget shortfall, your financial need and/or your level of academic merit.

Study/Work International Fund (SWIF)

Established as part of the Student Assistance Program, SWIF provides financial assistance to students who want to take part in a 1 Term or Full Year international placement. There is a maximum award of $2,000 CAD per applicant.  

SWIF supports study, work, or practicum placements for which 国民彩票 will give a degree credit. It provides reduced levels of support for placements with service or educational programs sponsored or recognized by the university. In all cases, the placement must be a component of your degree.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for SWIF funding if you:

  • Qualify for financial assistance on the basis of need
  • Are in good academic standing and have a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.50
  • Will receive academic degree credit for the placement (funding is not available for individual travel, research, or data collection)
  • Have completed five full academic credit courses at 国民彩票
  • Are currently a full-time student

You must complete a pre-departure program prior to applying for any funding through the International Centre.

Application deadlines

The committee meets on a regular basis. This means that there is no deadline for applications, but there are two critical things to note.

  1. Your application and supporting documentation must be fully complete and submitted prior to your departure.
  2. The chair of the committee will go through your application to ensure everything is complete only if the application is submitted one month prior to your departure. This will allow you enough time to rectify any omissions. If you don't provide enough time in advance of your departure, we can't guarantee this check will be done, and you risk having your application rejected on the basis of being incomplete.

We recommend that you complete the funding application as soon as you are accepted into an international program.
