FUNDING - McMaster Dependent/Spouse Bursary
This Funding Option is for eligible for dependents and spouses of McMaster University employees.
This program assists with tuition costs to a yearly maximum, but does not cover total fees. You are responsible for payment of fees over and above the amount awarded, by the payment due date of EACH session you register for.
Staff Member Responsibilities:
1. A separate application for Dependent/Spouse Bursary must be completed for EACH registered session. The form can be downloaded by clicking the "Forms" button on the Payment Agreement, or by clicking the Dependent/Spouse Bursary Form. Staff who do not complete the form or go through the approval process for each session will not be awarded the assistance.
2. Staff members must bring their form to HR for verification. A copy of the approved form will be forwarded by HR to Student Accounts and Cashiers for processing.
Dependent or Spouse Responsibilities:
1. Pay the fees not covered by the assistance no later than the payment due date for that session.
2. Review their student Account Statement to ensure payment has been made by HR (this may take a few weeks)
3. Follow up with Student Accounts/HR if no assistance has been made to the student account (by a few weeks after course has begun)
