Bursaries

Entrance bursaries are for students attending Fanshawe College for the first-time on a full-time basis, and can show financial need. Students attending on a full-time basis within a post-secondary or post-diploma program at Fanshawe College are eligible to apply. 
 

Fanshawe College Student Assistance Bursary was established by the College in accordance with Ministry guidelines related to tuition fees.

Domestic students attending on a full-time basis within a post-secondary or post-diploma program at Fanshawe College are eligible to apply.

The Work Study program is designed to provide work opportunities to full-time post-secondary or post-diploma students with a demonstrated financial need. Students would normally work a maximum of 8-10 hours per study period week or up to 35 hours a week during the summer.
 

If you have a permanent disability, you could be eligible for full-time OSAP funding if you're studying at 40% or more of a full course load. To be considered for this benefit, you must self-identify as having a permanent disability when applying for OSAP. You must also submit an application for the OSAP Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BSWD) and Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Persons with Permanent Disabilities (CSG-PDSE), available mid to late June. Here's how:

Step 1: Apply for OSAP and be eligible for OSAP funding (submit all required documents).

Step 2: If required, complete the new OSAP Disability Verification Form available under "Required Documents" when you self-identify as a student with a permanent disability and return to the Financial Aid Office (London Campus, room E2020) or upload on your OSAP application.
