Simon Fraser University 2025 Bursaries for International Students

Bursaries are a supplemental source of funding for students with demonstrated financial need; that is, they should not be treated as your primary source of funding.

Bursaries are available to Canadian and International students. You should be aware that you may not be awarded a bursary every term. Due to the high volume of applications received each term, the payment of funds to eligible students will be processed in the middle of the term of application, after the tuition payment deadline. We encourage you to plan accordingly.
