How are the recipients chosen and the bursaries distributed?
The Chang School Bursary Selection Committee evaluate all eligible students based on the application criteria. All students will receive an email regarding the results, approximately three weeks after the deadlines below.
If you receive a bursary, the course fee must be paid in full at time of enrollment. If you do not receive a bursary and enroll in a course, you are obliged to pay the course fee.
Following notification, your Ryerson University RAMSS account will be credited with the bursary amount. Bursaries are not cash, they are a Ryerson tuition credit, valid for the course fee only. All associated course costs (e.g., textbooks, supplies, and materials) are the student’s financial responsibility. Bursaries are non-refundable and must be used within a specified timeframe towards an eligible course.
Students are expected to be honest in providing information on the bursary application and in any subsequent discussions. If there is clear evidence that a student has misrepresented his/her financial circumstances, bursary assistance will be refused or withdrawn.
