Simon Fraser University Bursaries 2026

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.

Requirements for Simon Fraser University Bursaries Undergraduate Scholarship Qualification

To be considered for bursary funding, you must apply and:

• have a demonstrated financial need (as assessed by SFU).
• be enrolled in a minimum of 9 units of standard graded courses at SFU in the term of application.

Students who are not enrolled in 9 units of standard graded courses should review the following:

• Students who have a recognized disability through SFU's Centre for Accessible Learning or StudentAid BC, and who are enrolled in 6 to 8 units, should review Eligibility for Institutional Financial Aid.
• Students who are enrolled in programs that exclusively use competency-based grading (e.g., Preservice Professional Studies, MD Program) meet the enrollment requirements if enrolled full-time in the term.
• Challenge, audit and credit-free courses are not considered.
• Enrolment in a Co-op term (3 units) does not satisfy the enrolment requirement as it is not a standard graded course.
