Scholarships & Bursaries
Funding your education is a big part of your academic journey — and we’re here to help. Many Assiniboine students qualify for scholarships and bursaries every year.
Scholarships
Scholarships recognize your achievements — in academics, leadership, community involvement, or athletics.
Some are automatic based on your grades. You’ll be automatically considered when you apply to your college program — no extra forms or deadlines. Others require an application, which you’ll need to complete through AwardSpring to be considered.
- Tip: Apply early! The earlier you apply to your program, the more scholarships you’ll be considered for.
Bursaries
Bursaries are based mainly on financial need. You’ll need to complete a bursary application through AwardSpring to be considered.
When to Apply
Once you’re accepted or conditionally accepted into your program, you can start applying for scholarships and bursaries. Login to AwardSpring and create a profile using the email address you provided on your college application.

FAQs
When will I hear if I am selected to receive a scholarship or bursary?
Recipients are notified via email if they have been selected to receive a scholarship or bursary. For many scholarships and bursaries, new students will be notified that they are receiving an award before classes begin. Many scholarships and the early entrance bursaries are continuously granted to eligible students throughout the year. Recipients for bursaries with a September 30 deadline will be notified by November 15.
When will I receive the money for the scholarship or bursary I received?
Full details of your scholarship or bursary will be provided in the email you receive notifying you about your award. The funds are applied directly towards the student’s account for the upcoming term. If tuition is paid in full, students can request a refund of the award after the refund date.
I’m trying to create an account on AwardSpring and I’m having troubles. What do I do?
Contact the Financial Aid and Awards Office at [email protected] and include your student ID # and the email address you are trying to use to create your account. Your AwardSpring account needs to be created with the email address you used when you applied to your program at Assiniboine.
