EXPLORE BURSARY APPLICATION

Bursaries are awarded through the Explore program by the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC).

For more information, please visit the Explore website: www.englishfrench.ca

Explore program participants receive a $3,850 (5 weeks program) and $2,740 (3 weeks program) bursary covering tuition fees for the course, instructional materials, meals, accommodation, and participation in all compulsory activities (please note that the bursary constitutes taxable income). The educational institution you will be attending will receive the bursary directly. Bursary students must however pay a non- refundable registration fee ($275) and are responsible for their personal expenses as well as the cost of optional activities, should they choose to participate in those.
