We have awards for every student, including domestic, international, Indigenous, full-time, part-time, first-year, upcoming graduates and everyone in between.
We believe in you!
New international students from all over the world in select programs starting in eligible intakes at Northern College may be eligible to receive an entrance scholarship valued at $2,000 CAD per recipient.

Notes for the Online Application Portal
Please ensure that your social insurance number (SIN) is on record with the college. You will know if it isn’t on file with us when you attempt to log into the application system. A message will come up on the screen telling you that your SIN number is required. If your SIN is not on file with us, you can do so in your Student Account. Please wait one hour after the change has been made to re-enter the application system. If your address is not up-to-date in the online application system, you can update this at anytime by logging into your Student Account and selecting “My Contact Info” in the left hand navigation menu.
Important Note: Be sure to submit your applications for each individual bursary. Completed bursary applications will have a checkmark (✓) and status will say “Pending Approval”.

You can be nominated for an award at Northern without applying. Faculty and staff of the College also select outstanding students who make an impact to win scholarships, bursaries and awards.
Stand out from the crowd, help classmates, make it to class, try your hardest, and do good things in the college, your class, and the community to help increase your chances of being chosen.
Everyone loves students like you and wants to support you. We’ll let you know when we hear about another organization offering awards and/or scholarships to recognize and assist students!
Explore even more opportunities that are available out there by going online and searching for external funding support.
Good luck, and hope we can send a cheque your way to help you pay for college!

Early Childhood Education $500 Pre-Service Firefighter $2000 Police Foundations $500 Mining Engineering Technician $1000 Medical Laboratory Technician $750
If you are selected as an award recipient, a Northern College Financial Aid Officer will contact you by email with details about your scholarship, bursary, or award. At that time, you will receive information regarding next steps, including how your funds will be issued via e-transfer and any opportunities to be recognized as an award recipient.
We may publish your name when we announce the winners so we can share in your success and celebrate you. This is true if you are nominated by a faculty member, as well, for a scholarship, bursary or award with the College. If you do not wish to have your name shared, it is very important that you let your Financial Aid Officer know right away in writing so that we can remove it from any advertising related to this program. Thank you for your understanding, and good luck!
If you have received one or multiple scholarships, bursaries or awards, you will receive a T4A tax receipt in the mail in February for tax purposes. This receipt will also be uploaded to CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) and include the total amount you received in awards for the year.
