Several of our entrance scholarships are aimed at supporting individuals from communities or groups who experience systemic barriers to education, such as racialized people and people from an economically disadvantaged background. In order to help us more effectively allocate these scholarships and address systemic barriers, we invite applicants to share self-identifying and contextualizing information in their admission application (e.g. in their Personal Statement and/or Extenuating Circumstances letter). Students who receive offers of admission are also asked to complete a short questionnaire where they can provide additional information such as race, ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic status. Any information shared will be used solely to assist with scholarship allocation in a manner consistent with the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

成人VR视频 Scholarships and Student Aid
