Ryerson Bursary

What is the Ryerson Bursary?

There is an expectation the student and where applicable his or her family will participate in financing post-secondary education. Should additional financial support be needed and the student has applied for and been officially restricted by the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities (MTCU) for OSAP funding, the Ryerson Bursary is intended to assist with tuition, and book costs.
