Tuition and Bursary Support

UTS partners with Apple Financial Services to process bursary support requests. In complete confidentiality, Apple Financial Services closely reviews all financial details and provides an analysis of a family’s ability to contribute toward educational expenses. It then submits its recommendations to UTS. These recommendations include:a recommendation with respect to the amount of financial award.

• Financial assistance bursaries are based exclusively on need as determined by a confidential review of a family’s financial details by Apple Financial Services. Families who are interested in applying will receive information about the Apple Financial application if they are invited to participate in Stage 2 of the UTS Application Process.
• Families are required to provide full financial disclosure, including a Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment. Incomplete documentation may result in withdrawal of assistance.
• All families requiring financial assistance must apply annually and students receiving financial assistance must remain in good standing throughout their careers at UTS, attend school regularly, and abide by both the Code of Conduct, as stated in the UTS Student/Parent Handbook, and the school's Policy of Mutual Respect. Returning bursary students receive at least the same bursary support compared to the prior year, given a similar financial situation.

Applying for financial assistance does not impact your application to UTS. The admission decisions and the financial assistance decisions are made independently.

• UTS requires that all published deadlines be met by the bursary applicant.
• Applicants must submit the required documentation from both parents, unless they are deceased.
