Committed to inclusion

An open-minded approach to learning is a key skill-set required by future learners and leaders, with diplomacy at its core. Financial assistance provides foundational equity across our student population allowing for a culturally rich and diverse learning environment. Through Ashbury College’s financial assistance program bright and determined young students have the opportunity to thrive where their dreams come to life and goals a reality.

Equity and Inclusion are key to the success of our diverse student population, while Ashbury College is a school dedicated to its local, national, and international communities. By connecting with their peers, hearing others’ voices and ideas, and considering different points of view, we know Ashbury students can make a difference. With accessibility and education as the foundation for concrete change and growth, Ashbury College students will make a positive impact in Canada and globally.

What is a bursary?

A bursary is a sum of money awarded to a student whose family has demonstrated financial need (as determined through an application and review process managed by a third party). The student recipient must complete the standard Ashbury application process and meet the entrance criteria. Ashbury’s financial assistance program is designed to support student recipients throughout their time at the school.

Most of our donor-supported bursaries are invested in the Ashbury Endowment, which currently stands at $15 million, where it will exist in perpetuity. The principle sum is invested in the Endowment and the investment income is awarded to students. Currently, one out of every ten students receives financial assistance. The average award is 50% of tuition fees.
