The Aboriginal Post Secondary Education and Training (PSET) bursary program requires a separate online application from the Laurier general tuition bursary program. Eligible students may receive a Laurier general tuition bursary, a First Generation bursary, as well as a PSET bursary. The amount granted per student ranges in value between $1,000 and $3,500.
This program is funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Due to the amount of available funding, not all eligible candidates may be granted funding through this program.
All full and part time graduate and undergraduate students who met the eligibility criteria could apply for a PSET bursary, and were NOT required to complete an OSAP application for the PSET bursary program. While an OSAP application is not required, applicants are required to meet the residency requirements (long term resident of Ontario).
