Section 200 Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards

At Concordia University, undergraduate scholarships, bursaries, and awards are overseen and administered by the Undergraduate Scholarship and Awards Committee, as mandated by the Deputy Provost and Vice-Provost, Planning and Positioning. The Undergraduate Scholarship and Awards Committee is composed of a Chairperson, four faculty members, one member from Student and Enrolment Services, one Concordia Student Union member, one member of the Concordia Council on Student Life, as well as managerial staff from the Financial Aid and Awards Office.

Students may hold only one of the following types of awards during a given academic year:

• Entrance Scholarships
• Entrance Bursaries
• In-Course Scholarships
• In-Course Bursaries
  

Holding more than one of these scholarships or bursaries is not allowed unless expressly authorized by the Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards Committee. All scholarships, bursaries, and awards are available to full-time students in bachelor’s programs, who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

Scholarship, award, and bursary programs are active during the regular session only. Regular session is defined in Section 16.1.1 Academic Year as the fall and winter terms of a given academic year. No scholarships, awards, or bursaries are issued during the summer session. Full-time and part-time status for all scholarships, bursaries, and awards is determined according to candidates’ credit load over the regular session only (i.e. fall and winter). Where scholarship, award, and bursary programs are concerned, summer-session credit loads cannot be combined with fall/winter credits in the determination of full-time or part-time status. Dependents of Concordia staff who are benefitting from tuition waivers are not eligible to apply to the entrance bursary and in-course bursary programs.

Authorized co-op work terms and exchange programs are normally considered equivalent to full-time on-campus registration. Where possible, clients of the Access Centre for Students with Disabilities who are registered in a part-time credit load may be considered as full-time students in the event of candidacy for scholarships, awards, and bursaries.
