Laura Tilson Memorial Adopt-A-Student Bursary

The family of Laura Tilson created this bursary to honour the life of their loved one. Laura was born with a metabolic disorder that manifested itself when she was approximately six months of age. The purpose of the Laura Tilson Memorial Bursary is to provide financial support to a student with a physical impairment (visual, mobility, or hearing) and who requires additional resources in order to carry out his/her University studies (e.g. additional tutoring, specialized equipment, or learning materials). Candidates for this non-renewable bursary must be registered as a client of the Access Centre for Students with Disabilities. As part of the In-Course Bursary program, recipients are selected annually by the In-Course Bursary committee. Open to full-time Canadian citizens, permanent residents and international students.

Concordia offers need-based In-Course Bursaries to returning Bachelor's students in the Fall semester.

Application deadline The 2024-2025 Undergraduate In-Course Bursary Program will be open April 1, 2024.
