A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
"At Mohawk, we believe every student deserves a world-class education. We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to earn a college education and that our college must be within reach of students who have unlimited potential yet limited means.
We’re ready to work with students to help them discover the full suite of financial assistance options they may qualify for like our assortment of over 900 awards, scholarships, and bursaries. In addition to the millions of dollars available in award funding every year, students may also qualify for our Campus Student Employment Program, OSAP and use the Mo’Money Financial Literacy Centre as a way to help you tie it all together.
Internal Scholarship and Bursary Support
The Financial Assistance Profile is an all-one application that students can complete every semester to be considered for all available awards, scholarships, and bursaries.
In addition to Ministry and donor awards, the Financial Profile offers International Scholarships and Bursaries to full-time international students, who are in good academic standing and do not have any academic offences on record.
The application also includes Indigenous Student Awards (FNMI). Any student who self-identifies as a First Nations, Inuit, Métis (FNMI), status or non-status person is eligible to apply for an Indigenous Student Award (FNMI).
The Mohawk College Foundation established the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) scholarship with a gift from Mohawk College. The intent of this scholarship is to raise awareness of the EDI program and to support students who have encountered lived experiences concerning systemic barriers to equitable access to resources, programs, and opportunities. Students can include any situation where they felt that their ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, sex, or dis/Ability (invisible or visible), religion, or creed, has been a barrier to participating in something such as employment, education, sports, recreation, and extra-curricular activities.
