The committee is comprised of Innis College students and staff. The function of the Bursary Sub-Committee is to distribute the funds allocated by the Office of Admissions and Awards to students with financial need. These funds are used only for bursary assistance, and any money not awarded in an academic year is returned to the Office of Admissions and Awards. Decisions are based solely on the facts made available by the applicants and the amount of money available. If the sub-committee cannot reach a decision because of lack of information, the request will be deferred until the information is made available.
All applicants receive a written response to their bursary applications.
If a bursary recipient owes fees to the University, then the amount owing will be deducted from the bursary and the balance will be mailed to the student. Cheques are usually mailed three weeks after the bursary has been awarded.
