The emergency bursary is available to students who find themselves in short term and sudden financial need. The bursary offers students money for necessities in categories not covered by usual bursaries/grants, when those systems may take too long to respond, when the qualifications are too stringent, or when other pools of money are not enough. This bursary does not cover grocery/food/hygiene assistance. For that type of assistance, please refer to the grocery assistance or hygiene product bursaries. 
Due to the large demand we have received for our bursaries, applications for the bursaries will only be open for the first week (1st - 7th) of each month. All applications will be reviewed after the 7th of each month and all applicants will be contacted within 3 - 5 business days.

If you have questions, please email [email protected].
* The maximum amount an individual can receive from all the bursaries is $500 for each calendar year.
We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishnaabeg. We offer our gratitude to the First Nations for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings. ​
