Bursaries

About Centennial


Established as Toronto's first public college in 1966, Centennial College offers programs in business, communications, community and health studies, science and engineering technology, general arts, hospitality and transportation.

Centennial College recognizes the financial challenges faced by many of our students in pursuing their post-secondary education. We have implemented a number of bursaries (non-repayable funding) to support your resources to assist you to meet your financial obligations. Listed below are some of our bursary offerings, the amount available for each bursary and the approximate time frames they are available.

Bursaries are posted on myCentennial on the dates as noted. When a bursary opportunity has been exhausted, the bursary application is removed from myCentennial immediately to avoid student disappointment that the opportunity still exists. These opportunities are limited to the number of bursaries that are indicated below.
