Financial Aid for International Students

Thinking of studying at Assiniboine College?

Entrance Scholarships

As a full-time certificate, diploma or advanced diploma student at Assiniboine, you may be eligible for an entrance award to apply directly against your tuition.

  1. Applying is easy! The Diane Shamray International Awards are available for students to apply for online at assiniboine.net/awards through AwardSpring.
  2. Apply before you begin your program. You must apply for an entrance award once you've been accepted (or conditionally accepted) into a program of study at the college and before you begin your classes. Part of your application for this award requires that you tell us why you've selected the program that you did at Assiniboine. Please refer to assiniboine.net/awards for deadline details.
  3. Studying in a two-year program? Recipients of the Diane Shamrey International Award who are in a two-year diploma program will be eligible to receive the award against their tuition in both their first and second year of studies in the same program, provided they meet the renewal criteria and maintain a 3.0 GPA.

Bridging Bursaries

We offer bursaries of up to $2,000 available to support international students returning for their second year of study. These bursaries are awarded to students who demonstrate the most financial need.

  1. Apply before your second year of study. The deadline to apply is February 15 each year and students apply during their first year of studies.
  2. Applying is easy! Visit assiniboine.net/awards and start your application on AwardSpring.
  3. Plan for your second year of college. Recipients of the International Student Bursary will be notified in the spring, in advance of their second year of study. Any bursary amount awarded will be credited towards your tuition for your second year of study.

Other Awards

There are other scholarships and bursaries available to international students throughout their program, however students do not apply for these awards. This can include bridging scholarships that are based on GPA and automatically selected. This can also include competition awards in specific programs. Students will be notified if they are selected for a scholarship and/or if they are selected to participate in a program competition.
