COVID-19 Student Emergency Bursary

Brock University has created the COVID-19 Student Emergency Bursary to help alleviate economic hardships for students who have been impacted by COVID-19. The COVID-19 Graduate Emergency Bursary will provide emergency financial aid for graduate students who have demonstrated financial hardship or loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is available immediately to help students in need. Students may be asked to provide supporting documentation that identifies financial loss or hardship.
