Notes

Post-secondary education opens doors to a brighter future for youth and their families. Unfortunately, for too many young people in Canada, the milestone of starting college or university is also a time marked by financial stress, with the average Canadian undergraduate leaving post-secondary school heavily in debt. The TELUS Student Bursary provides financial assistance to deserving young people across the country who are committed to giving back in their local communities by taking on a social impact project. Recipients receive a bursary valued at $3,000 (college) or $5,000 (university) to put toward tuition fees at Canadian post-secondary institutions. Applications are open between March 25 and April 24, 2024. How is this Bursary reaching students who need it?
  • Based on need, not merit: Once financial barriers are removed, anyone can change the world
  • Flexible: Any year of study and any program is eligible for $5,000 (university) or $3,000 (college)
  • Social impact: Bursary recipients are committed to making a difference in their communities by taking on a social impact initiative over the course of their studies
  • More than money alone: We're offering additional support, including learning and mentorship opportunities, and free mobility and low cost internet plans to keep students connected and thriving
  • Building community: Our alumni are like-minded individuals who want to lift up those around them. This community can further their careers and help them achieve financial and social impact success.
Requirements:
  • Youth between the ages of 17 and 29 who are accepted into, or attending, any undergraduate degree or diploma program at a college, university or polytechnic institute in Canada
  • Canadian citizens or permanent residents
  • Those experiencing financial need ($65,000 or less net combined family income)
  • Students who are committed to developing an innovative project or venture during their studies that will have a positive social or environmental impact in their community.
