You cannot apply yet: the university says the Fall 2026 competition has closed and the Fall 2027 application will be available in early January 2027, with a deadline of April 15 at 4:00 p.m. It is a $2,000 bursary for students entering the University of Guelph-Humber who demonstrate financial need. You do not need an offer of admission to apply, only your Admission's Acknowledgement email and the seven-digit student number on it. It cannot be held with the Diversity Entrance Bursary, so apply for whichever one fits you.
How to Apply
- Eligibility
- Application
You must have applied to the University of Guelph-Humber for the fall entry, be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident of Canada or protected person (convention refugee), be entering post-secondary studies for the first time, and have received your Admission's Acknowledgement email with your seven-digit student identification number. An offer of admission is not required to complete the application. This award cannot be held with the Diversity Entrance Bursary.
Complete the online form for the Registrar's Need-Based Entrance Bursary. The university says the application for the Fall 2026 entrance award competition is now closed and that the Fall 2027 application will be available in early January 2027. You will need your Social Insurance Number, your Guelph-Humber student ID number, your 2024 income tax return forms and those of your parents, guardians or spouse, your bank account and investment balances, your estimated summer earnings, and the value of any motor vehicles you own. Once submitted the application cannot be reopened, so check it before sending; you receive a confirmation number, which you need to quote to Student Financial Services for any change. The bursary is credited to your university account in two equal payments, one at the start of each of the fall and winter semesters.
