Funding Opportunities for Current Students
Funding your education can be hard work. We have put together some ideas on how students can help meet their expenses and tuition requirements:
Scholarships
The OIA offers most scholarship funding through admission-based scholarships. However, there are scholarships available for continuing students. Places to look for these include:
- Check with your department. After admission-based scholarships, departments can be a very good place to start looking for discipline specific funding.
- Check out the Office of Student Scholarships page for Continuing Students.
Money Smarts
