International Student Services

Though many international students are made aware of the estimated education expenses for studying in Canada, and the ability to cover these expenses is part of the immigration requirements, there are cases of unexpected financial difficulties/situations that students may face which prevent them from continuing to support their total education expenses.

ISS realizes how important financial assistance is for any international student who may be faced with such a situation. Below is a list of the financial assistance and scholarship programs applicable to international students.

Many program departments offer awards/scholarships to students registered in that particular program. Students should contact their program office to determine what is available and whether or not they may be eligible.

• Salad King International Student Award
• Scotiabank Scholarship
• Emergency Bursary for International Students
• Bank of Montreal (BMO) Financial Group Diversity Scholarships
• Ryerson Student Union (RSU) Bursary

International students are charged a different fee rate from Canadians and permanent residents unless they qualify for an exemption based on their status. Students can review the exemption categories to determine if they may qualify for exemption from international fees.

• Maytree Scholarship Program
• CBIE International Student of the Year Award
• Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund
