About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Concordia University to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student in financial need who is starting a Bachelor's degree in any field of study and wants to make your education affordable. The 2026 round ran from March 2 to April 17, 2026; Concordia has not yet posted the dates for the next round. Decisions are normally made in the summer term, and the Undergraduate Awards Office will notify you once the selection committee has final results. Winners are chosen by committees overseen by the Undergraduate Awards Office on behalf of the Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards Committee. They use a holistic review of your financial situation, academic ranking, and personal statement and compare your application with others in the pool. Ask Concordia University during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Concordia University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You are eligible if you are newly admitted to undergraduate studies in a Bachelor's degree program in any discipline of study (the 2026 round covered students joining Concordia in Winter 2026 or Fall 2026). This is open to Canadian and international students who completed their most recent studies at a CEGEP (a general and professional college in Quebec), a Canadian high school, or an international equivalent. You can also apply if you are a Mature Entry student with past independent studies at Concordia. You are not eligible if you have previous university studies (including if you are a transfer student) or if your parents are receiving tuition waivers on your behalf. In the 2026 round, it was primarily for students seeking financial aid for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Tips for applying

Personal StatementAvoid writing a generic list of your achievements. Instead, use your personal statement to explain your unique financial situation and why this support is needed. Describe one specific challenge you have overcome to get to university.
SupportAvoid emailing your documents directly to staff. Instead, upload them through the bursary application's To-Do list (not the main document upload link in your Student Centre) so your files are received and your privacy is protected. Check your To-Do list regularly for any new requests.
StrategyAvoid using a mobile phone to apply. Instead, use a desktop or laptop computer because the application system is not optimized for mobile devices. Clear your browser's cache and cookies if you encounter greyed-out screens.
RealismAvoid assuming that showing financial need is enough to win an award. Instead, remember that competition is significant and the committee considers your academic ranking alongside your need. Focus on completing every step of the process to ensure your file is reviewed.
