- Amount
- Not publishedFull-time: tuition up to $5,000, a $500 book allowance, and a $10,000 living allowance for a single student in school September to April (adjusted for dependants; campus residence and meal fees are deducted). Part-time: tuition for up to 2 credits per term and up to $150 per course for books. Health and dental fees are not covered. A graduation award is also available.
- Deadline
- May 15, 2027Full-time applications for the fall/winter terms are due May 15 every year at 4:00 p.m., so Grade 12 students starting in fall 2027 should apply by May 15, 2027. The 2023 policy says a deadline that falls on a weekend moves to the next business day (May 15, 2027 is a Saturday), but applying by Friday, May 14 is safest. Part-time applications are accepted all year on a first come, first served basis. Continuing students must reapply every year.
