After you apply

You have a number of options for financing your education, including scholarships, bursaries, loans and working on campus. Start exploring these funding opportunities now.

Entrance scholarships

Concordia will automatically consider all students for a general entrance scholarship based on your marks when you apply, meaning there’s no need for a separate scholarship application. (Additional entrance scholarships for incoming international students do require an application.) 

Government student aid

Concordia participates in all Canadian government student financial aid programs (also known as student loans) as well as the United States Federal Student Aid program. Apply to the financial aid program in effect where you currently live. Apply early to receive your funds on time.

Bursaries

Bursaries are based on financial need and do require you to apply. 

Work-study, also based on financial need, is a great way to acquire valuable job skills, build your résumé and get involved in the Concordia community. Eligible students can work on campus up to 20 hours a week (to a maximum of 200 hours per term).

Job opportunities to consider

You can also look into other job opportunities on campus, like becoming a tour guide, solving IT problems or scorekeeping at sports games.

Assistance with awards and funding

Whatever your situation, the Financial Aid and Awards Office offers personalized, in-depth advice on organizing your finances and discovering funding opportunities.
