Non-repayable bursaries for registered Douglas College students who demonstrate financial need.
Published by G Paul · last checked September 26, 2026
No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Douglas College to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and is a non-repayable grant, so you do not have to pay it back. Note that this is intended as a supplemental source of funding, not your primary source of money while attending school. This is for you if you are a new or returning student who needs extra financial support to stay in your studies. You have three application windows each year: August 17 to September 17 for Fall, December 16 to January 17 for Winter, and April 15 to May 15 for Summer. Because Douglas College receives a high volume of applications each term, you should plan for the fact that payment may not occur until the middle of the term. Ask the Student Awards Team how and when you will be notified of a decision. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Douglas College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Douglas College 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 Douglas College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You may be eligible if you meet these requirements: you must be a registered student at Douglas College (either new or returning) who demonstrates financial need. You must be in good academic standing with a minimum CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average — your overall average grade across all courses) of 1.50. You must be a full-time or part-time student in the term for which the bursary will be received, as stated in the individual bursary qualifications. Additionally, you may be required to participate in college and community activities.
