Brock University’s Financial Need Assessment Policy outlines that the University has funds available to help students who experience financial difficulty. Bursaries are available for those students who exhibit the greatest financial need. They are intended to supplement educational resources, such as government student loans, employment earnings, scholarships, externally administered bursaries and family contributions. Bursaries should not be considered a major part of a student’s plan for financing their studies.

The Student Access Guarantee - An initiative created by the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities to help support postsecondary students in Ontario. It states that no qualified Ontario student should be prevented from attending school because of a lack of financial support programs. In order to be considered for the student access guarantee, students must apply for and accept OSAP funding. If OSAP funding isn’t sufficient to address financial shortfall for tuition, books, and mandatory fees, students may be eligible for additional assistance under the guarantee. Those who are in a first-entry (undergraduate) program, the access guarantee is automatic. Students in a second-entry (graduate or teacher education) program, must apply for assistance to be considered.
