Amid the changing COVID-19 situation, IGNITE funds student bursaries

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, Humber students have expressed additional financial need.

In response, IGNITE Student Union has provided funds to establish an Emergency Financial Relief Fund to provide Financial Need Bursaries which are open to domestic and international students with proven financial need. Humber College is combining this new funding with existing bursary funds to support students.

Bursaries are awarded on an individual basis upon consideration of expenses, income, family support, part-time employment opportunities, academic standing and personal circumstances.

Application Process: 

Students who require emergency funding and wish to apply should email finaid@humber.ca and include a brief outline of their financial need.

Students will be asked to complete a budget sheet & short statement about how the COVID-19 situation is affecting their finances. Please note that students must be currently enrolled in a Diploma/Degree/Ontario Graduate Certificate/Ontario Certificate program in order to apply for funding.

Students will receive a response within 2 to 3 days for applications submitted online.  

The award amount is based on individual assessed need.
