A new bursary program at »»ÆÞ̽»¨ aims to support Ukrainian students impacted by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
»»ÆÞ̽»¨ will provide a minimum of 20 bursaries, equivalent to »»ÆÞ̽»¨’s International tuition ($9,468 CAD), to eligible incoming and returning Ukrainian students for the upcoming academic year.
“All of us at »»ÆÞ̽»¨ have witnessed, with the rest of the world, the strength, determination, and courage shown by the Ukrainian people,” said Mary Butler, President and CEO of »»ÆÞ̽»¨. “As part of our commitment to nurturing a sense of belonging and embracing culture and diversity, we felt it was important to find a way to support our Ukrainian students during this challenging time.”
To avoid placing additional burden on Ukrainian students, there will be no application process for this bursary. Instead, »»ÆÞ̽»¨ will identify and notify eligible incoming and returning Ukrainian students of the new bursary program.
»»ÆÞ̽»¨ will also award 12 donor-funded bursaries in the amount of $1,000 each to support impacted students not eligible for the Ukrainian Student Bursary, and will allow Ukrainian citizens to defer tuition deposits on applications to »»ÆÞ̽»¨ for the 2022 – 2023 academic year.
