Finances
Join our Summer 2021 online cohort (with online orientation in May-June) or our Fall 2021 resident cohort (with online orientation in June-July)!
Tuition is paid on a per-semester basis, and broken into four instalments as per the payment dates page, allowing many in the online program to self-finance and "pay as you go", supporting themselves by working while studying. Students in the resident program use a combination of savings and student loans for the intensive 16-month program.
Scholarships
Resident track students who study full-time are awarded first-year scholarships of $3000 during the first 12 months ($1000 for each of 3 semesters if they take 9 credits or more.)
Online track students are awarded first-year scholarships of $2100 ($700 for each of 3 semesters during the first 12 months if they take 6 credits.)
Some limited additional financial aid is also available. (Application for financial aid is part of the general application process.)
Student Loans
The federal/provincial government offers student loans and grants to eligible domestic students to assist with paying for post-secondary education. Please refer to the TWU Financial Aid Office for further information.
