Bursaries & Scholarships …what’s the difference?

Awards are any kind of non-repayable funding granted to students. The word is used interchangeably with bursary or scholarship.

  • Bursaries are non-repayable awards to students based on financial need and satisfactory academic standing, sometimes including additional criteria such as program of study or other requirements.
  • Scholarships are non-repayable awards to students based on merit or high academic achievement usually including additional criteria such as volunteer service, affiliation with a particular organization or other requirements.
