Financial Assistance
We believe that the financial barriers that come with being a student shouldn’t stop you from achieving your goals. We want to do everything we can to help you receive the assistance you may need, at any point during your undergraduate university career. The UTSU offers the following services to help alleviate financial burdens for students: Student Aid (8 grants and bursaries to help with costs from your books to transit and more), Dollar for Child Care, and Tax Clinics (volunteers help you submit your taxes for free).
We are actively working on improving and expanding ways we can help. See below for current financial assistance options.
