A new bursary program at ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëùaims to support Ukrainian students impacted by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëùwill provide a minimum of 20 bursaries, equivalent to NBCC’s International tuition ($9,468 CAD), to eligible incoming and returning Ukrainian students for the upcoming academic year.

“All of us at ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëùhave witnessed, with the rest of the world, the strength, determination, and courage shown by the Ukrainian people,” said Mary Butler, President and CEO of NBCC. “As part of our commitment to nurturing a sense of belonging and embracing culture and diversity, we felt it was important to find a way to support our Ukrainian students during this challenging time.”

To avoid placing additional burden on Ukrainian students, there will be no application process for this bursary. Instead, ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëùwill identify and notify eligible incoming and returning Ukrainian students of the new bursary program.

²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëùwill also award 12 donor-funded bursaries in the amount of $1,000 each to support impacted students not eligible for the Ukrainian Student Bursary, and will allow Ukrainian citizens to defer tuition deposits on applications to ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëùfor the 2022 – 2023 academic year.
