Financial Support
Employer Support
Many students are financially sponsored by their employers. We encourage you to review how your company will benefit from the knowledge and skills gained in the program. We can provide a brief overview of the benefits and necessities for employer support, so contact us if you would like assistance in putting together a case for sponsorship.
Bursaries
Bursaries are a supplemental funding source for students with demonstrated financial need; they should not be treated as your primary funding source. Bursaries are available to qualifying Canadian and international students; you may not be awarded a bursary every term.
Please note that due to the high volume of applications received each term, payment of funds may not occur until the middle of the application term; therefore, we encourage you to plan accordingly.
Loans & Financial Aid Programs
Learn more about eligibility criteria for various funding opportunities, what programs may be excluded from government-issued student financial assistance, and whom to contact if you have further questions. SFU Beedie does not guarantee, co-sign, or endorse these specific funding programs. If you've successfully taken out an educational loan with or received a scholarship from any other organization or financial institution, please let your department know so we can update this list for future students.
