The APUS Bursary Program is available to part-time students at the University of Toronto.
Amount: $1000
Number: on average one bursary is offered each term
Deadline: February 4, 2023, at 5pm EST
Recognizing that part-time students face barriers to accessing funding from governmental and institutional programs, the Association of Part-Time Undergraduate Students (APUS) grants a set number of bursaries to part-time undergraduate students on all three campuses of the University of Toronto each session.
NOTE: at the time of updating our listing, the APUS Bursary Program webpage was showing information for the July-August summer bursary program only. Previously we listed winter term information. Check the APUS Bursary Program webpage to be sure you’re getting the most up-to-date information for the relevant term.

- If you have applied for the May-June bursary and indicated on your form that you will also be studying in July-August, you will automatically be considered for both bursaries. You do not need to resubmit your application
- Include a copy of your Summer 2022 Acorn invoice to your email submission as proof of eligibility. Applications submitted without an accompanying Acorn invoice will not be accepted.
- Include your academic transcript
- Applications received after the deadline will not be considered
- All applications will be reviewed only after the deadline has passed. There is no advantage to submitting early
- No applicant is guaranteed a bursary. On average one bursary is provided each term

A student is provided this bursary maximum once per academic year. Do not submit an application if you have already received an APUS bursary in the same academic year.
A Canadian bank account is required in order to receive the bursary funds. If you are not living in Canada at the moment, some Canadian banks are offering remote access to open a bank.
