The CST Foundation Bursaries are awarded to students who require financial assistance to access post-secondary education for the first time. From university degrees to apprenticeships, all Canadian post-secondary education programs are eligible for bursaries.
The funds can be used to cover the cost of tuition and related expenses such as books, supplies or living expenses. In 2023, we will award 50 bursaries, each worth $6,000.
*First generation post-secondary education students are students whose parents did not attend post-secondary education (i.e. did not attend either college or university).
Applications will be accepted starting March 1st and the application period will close April 14. Results will be announced by the end of May and bursaries distributed during summer. For your reference, we’ve provided you with the timing for 2023.
All applications are to be submitted through our online portal. Requirements may vary year-to-year, but the core components always include the below.
*Eligible post-secondary education institutions include apprenticeship or trades certificate or diploma; college, CEGEP or other non-university certificate or diploma; university certificate or diploma below bachelor level; or a university degree.
