Centennial College offers some of the most distinctive financial aid opportunities in Canada!

While attending Centennial College, Merit Scholarships based on academic performance, Awards for leadership and extracurricular activities, and Bursaries to fund global experiences offer Financial Aid opportunities that support academic, personal and professional development.

“As an athlete I can say that with the scholarship money that I get from Centennial I can buy all my books, and have extra money in my pocket. And with financial support from Centennial for extracurricular activities, you are not just a student. You stand out, along with your academics you’re also a student athlete, you just added something extra to your diploma” – Mark Tarazhi, Centennial College International Student (USA), Athletics Bursary Recipient.

Since the launch of the Global Experience program in 2011, more than 600 Centennial College Students received financial bursaries to fund student participation in International internship placements, semester exchanges, language and culture learning, field studies, joint international research projects, and participation in international development activities.

“My Global Citizenship and Equity Learning Experience (GCELE) was totally eye-opening and unique for me. For 2 weeks our Costa Rica Rainforest Conservation GCELE Team worked with a Canadian Biological Station in biological data collection for species such as birds, turtles and caimans. All of the expenses such as accommodation, transportation, flight tickets, and food allowances were covered by Centennial College.” – Arda Ersan, Centennial College International Student (Turkey).

In further support of the outstanding opportunities for Centennial students to internationalize their skills, two $1000 International Education Experience Awards were introduced in Fall 2014 for current students who demonstrated excellence in the areas of Education, Leadership, Achievement, and Global Citizenship during the #iexperiencecentennial Photo Contest.
