Douglas College has an entrance bursary program for the 2014/15 academic year.  There are 16 entrance bursaries available, worth $2,000 each semester, based on financial need.  Please see attached the application form and the terms of reference.
 
Students need to apply, complete the form, and have a letter of recommendation from a school counselor.  This is the first time we have ever offered this and it is designed for students who are not considering post-secondary because of financial constraints and because they cannot afford to wait until October/November to know if they qualify for a bursary.
 
The deadline to apply is May 15, 2014.
