The University of Alberta in Canada invites applications for the International Undergraduate Student Bursary for 2018/2019 academic session.
The International Undergraduate Student Bursary (IUSB) Program provides bursaries to undergraduate international students in the event of an unanticipated financial shortfall due to extenuating circumstances.
The IUSB is a non-repayable grant paid directly into students’ financial customer accounts to pay outstanding tuition.
Selection for the bursary is based on demonstrated financial need. Preference is given to students in their final year of study who provide records of employment and sufficient documentation of extenuating circumstances.
