Awards and bursaries

UVic offers $3.7 million in scholarships and bursaries each year. All students are encouraged to apply for student scholarships, bursaries, and loans.

In addition to the general entrance and in-course scholarships, there are more than 40 different awards and bursaries for Indigenous students.

Students who demonstrate reasonable academic standing and financial need can also apply for many bursaries and non-repayable awards.

UVic's Work Study program offers on-campus part-time paid jobs to students in financial need.

Funding and sponsorships

Sponsored Indigenous students should report the name and address of their sponsor to the Office of Indigenous Academic & Community Engagement, who can provide the sponsor with appeal materials or course information on your behalf.
