Entrance scholarships are disbursed by term:

• 50% at the beginning of the fall term
• 50% at the beginning of the winter term*

You can review your student account and scholarship payments in Self-Service.

How funds are applied to accounts: In many cases your scholarship will be applied to your student account from a general entrance scholarship fund, therefore will see a line item with a generic label of entrance scholarship listed with the value of your award. Alternatively, your scholarship could be applied to the student account directly from the donor funds, in this case you will see the donor name listed on your account statement rather than a general scholarship line item.

Throughout the academic year, your entrance scholarship may be matched to a generous donor who will provide the funding for your scholarship. If this happens, you will be notified by email, then your account statement will be updated. You will see the general line item of your scholarship reversed and immediately reapplied from the donor's fund. Please note that your scholarship value does not change, simply the name of the fund. In some cases, you may be multiple donors and therefore may have multiple line items.

*Important note: Scholarship recipients who register in a part-time course load for the winter term are at risk of having their winter scholarship installment revoked. Should the scholarship holder register in 6 or less credits for the winter term, the Financial Aid and Awards Counsellor will contact the student to discuss course load and potential scholarship removal.

Bursaries are pre-approved on the basis of demonstrated financial need.

To receive your bursary, you must be approved for a student loan from your province and/or the Canada Student Loan Program.

Before we disburse your pre-approved bursary, a copy of your student loan assessment/summary received from the province must be sent to financialaid@mta.ca.

Once we receive your student loan confirmation, your entrance scholarship will be applied to your student account automatically.
