About
At the Association of Part-time Undergraduate Students (APUS), we know that being a student is expensive. That’s why your student union offers a range of cost-saving services all year long including our Bursary Program!
Part-time undergraduate students face systemic barriers while accessing post-secondary education due to the ever-increasing as a result of high tuition fees, housing, systemic underfunding of the post-secondary sector by the government and the cost-of-living crisis. The APUS Bursary Program ultimately exists to support part-time students and fill in the gaps intentionally left by the University and the government. APUS bursaries are available to part-time undergraduate students on all three campuses of the University of Toronto (UofT).
The following needs-based bursaries are available:
- APUS General Student Bursary [$500]
- APUS Access Student Bursary [$600]
*for students with disabilities/disabled students and/or Deaf and/or hard of hearing students
- APUS Black Student Bursary [$600]
- APUS Indigenous Student Bursary [$600]
- APUS Two-Spirit, Queer, Trans Student Bursary [$600]
