Financial Assistance

Bursaries

Queen’s University has established a number of awards and bursaries, which range in value, to assist students with the cost of attending the BISC.  Bursary recipients often also access other forms of assistance such as government loans and grants or a personal loan or line of credit.

BISC bursaries are non-repayable grants available to students from any university who have demonstrated financial need above the maximum funding available through government student financial assistance.  All domestic students must have applied for government assistance in order to be considered for a bursary.

Students are encouraged to submit a bursary application when they apply for admission to the BISC.  Students offered admission to the program will be informed of the bursary decision at the same time.  Bursary applications will continue to be accepted until the beginning of the course. 

Bursary applications are available on-line at http://www.queensu.ca/studentawards/financialassistance/abroad/bisc.html or from the BISC Admissions Office.  

BISC Law Scholarships

Queen’s Law students may apply for a BISC Law Scholarship, awarded on the basis of academic excellence and demonstrated interest and/or experience in international law.  The amounts of the scholarships vary.  Information about the application procedure will be sent to Queen’s Law students in the fall term.
