Continuing Studies Bursary

Each term the Division of Continuing Studies offers bursaries totalling CAD $1,000 to assist learners in furthering their education. Bursaries will be awarded to learners who can display evidence of a commitment to lifelong learning and who can demonstrate financial need.

You can obtain a bursary application by calling 250-472-4747, or by downloading a PDF application form. Once completed, you can email your application to uvcsreg@uvic.ca.

The application deadlines are:

• Aug. 31 for September term
• Jan. 15 for January term

Bursaries cannot be granted before these dates, since a selection committee must consider each application.
