Awards, Bursaries and Scholarships
To be eligible for bursaries at Loyalist, students must be Ontario residents (unless otherwise stated), be registered full-time in a post-secondary program with a minimum 60 percent course load and demonstrate financial need. Students with a disability must be registered with AccessAbility Services at Loyalist and must have a minimum 40 percent course load and demonstrate financial need.

A bursary is an award that is distributed based on financial need.
A scholarship is an award recognizing academic excellence or achievement.
General bursaries, based on financial need, are available from funds set aside from tuition fees. These bursaries are awarded in both November and February.
