External Financial Assistance

TDSA's bursary resources are intended to provide immediate, short-term relief. Here are some additional monetary resources we hope you find useful, including those available through Trent University itself. If you are distressed and do not know where to start, one way is finding someone to talk to. Those of us at the TDSA and at Trent Durham staff are familiar with the resources you have a right to as a student and contacting TDSA administration, Trent counseling, advisors, the financial aid office, etc. are there to help you find navigate this (complicated) network of Trent resources.
