What is the value of a Chang School Tuition Fee Bursary?
Chang School Tuition Fee Bursaries vary in value up to the full tuition fee of one course depending on the student’s level of need and
available funding to a maximum amount of $600.00.

How are the recipients chosen and the bursaries distributed?

receive a bursary, students will be notified by the committee, by email or mail. All applicants will be mailed the results approximately
one to three weeks after the deadlines below. Following notification, your Ryerson University course account will be credited with the
bursary amount. Bursaries are not cash; rather they are a Ryerson tuition credit. They are valid towards tuition fees only. All associated
course costs (e.g., textbooks, supplies, and materials) are the financial responsibility of the student. Bursaries are non-refundable and
must be used within a specified timeframe towards an eligible course.
NOTICE to all students applying for the Chang School Tuition Fee Bursary:
All fees must be paid in full at time of enrollment. If you are successful in your application for a bursary/award and have
