A brief description of the institution’s policies and programs to minimize the cost of attendance for low-income students?:
Fleming offers over 120 scholarships and bursaries to students each year, of which many are directed specifically towards students in financial need. We have provided more than $10 million in bursaries and scholarships to students in financial need over the past 7 years.
Funding for these scholarships and bursaries is provided by various sources. A percentage of tuition fees collected by Fleming College are allocated towards Financial Need Bursary Programs for full-time students. To be considered for these bursaries students are required to apply. Funds go to students with greatest relative need.
Bursaries and scholarships are also funded by Fleming College's Advancement & Alumni Relations department, and by individual donors and sponsors. Students must also apply to be considered for these scholarships and bursaries. Every student that gets an offer of admission to Fleming also gets opportunity to apply to the various bursary programs (no bursaries are OSAP contingent). OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) is the provincial funding for students in post-secondary programs.
