Need-Based Financial Aid
Need-based financial aid is usually awarded based on a combination of demonstrated financial need and a specific minimum cumulative grade point average or CGPA.
There are two types of need-based financial aid available for continuing education students:
- Ryerson bursaries for continuing education students (see below)
- Government assistance, including the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
