Yes. Bursaries are based on financial need. Scholarships require that you meet certain criteria (which may include minimum GPA, specific major or area of study, extracurricular activities, leadership, etc.). All students can apply for both bursaries and scholarships as long as they meet the listed criteria.
There is no limit. You can apply for both scholarships and bursaries, provided you meet the criteria listed. There is, however, no guarantee that you will receive every award for which you have applied. In addition, Redeemer does not offer full-ride scholarships.
Redeemer is committed to offering affordable tuition and to helping students match with any awards for which they are eligible. Full-ride scholarships are not currently offered.
Secondary school applicants (students entering directly from secondary school with no previous post-secondary education) will be assessed on their admission average at Grade 12 midyear time, and again at the end of Grade 12 based on the Ontario curriculum scale.
Students who have taken one or two years off after secondary school or who have attended a discipleship or gap year program (that is not eligible for post-secondary credit), will be assessed on their admission average calculated from their final secondary school transcript based on the Ontario curriculum scale. Students who receive post-secondary credit for their gap-year program are subject to the eligibility criteria as outlined by Scholarship Consideration for Incoming Transfer Students. Students admitted as mature students are not eligible for academic scholarships under this policy.
For students transferring directly from a recognized undergraduate university institution, scholarships will be awarded based on the grade point average of the last year (two terms) of full-time studies (minimum of four courses a term) based on the Ontario curriculum scale. Transfer students are also evaluated for the Automatic Entrance Scholarships at admission.
Most financial aid is posted to the student account approximately two weeks prior to the start of the semester, provided that all documents are completed.
To receive the full value of any award, a student must be enrolled in a minimum of 4 courses (12 credit hours) in each term. A student who has received an award and enrols in a course load of 3 courses (9 credit hours) in one term will receive the award on a prorated basis (i.e. enrolment in 3 courses would result in 60% of the award total) unless otherwise stated in the conditions of the specific award. Award proration on courses dropped after the term has started will follow the tuition and fees refund schedule in the Academic Calendar.
Yes. There are paid jobs on campus which may help fund your education. Our Career Centre can also actively help you find access to paid internships and other opportunities in the local area.
