These bursaries assist students in diploma or certificate programs who would otherwise be unable to continue their studies without such financial aid. Consideration is also given to students who cannot enroll at the University without some financial assistance.

Some students may be eligible for financial assistance under the Ontario Special Bursary Program. Typically assistance is available for Addictions (correspondence and block lecture format only) students. Other CCE programs may soon be eligible for this program – approval is pending.

MAPS (McMaster Association of Part-Time Students)
MAPS exists to look after the special interests of all part-time degree and certificate students who pay our fees and who have a different educational experience than full-time students. MAPS represents students by having a voice on various academic and administrative committees, lobbying for services and accessibility, providing bursaries and awards and other services. Tuition fees include an assessment (Supplementary Fee) to support the Association.
MAPS represents students taking Certificate and Diploma programs by:
-
Having a voice on various academic and administrative committees;

Publishing a newsletter - The LINK;
-
Keeping students informed of current issues;
-
Providing a handbook that guides students through the university maze;
-
Offering free seminars, such as Essay Writing, Preparing for Exams & Developing Research Skills;
-
Lobbying for services and accessibility;
-
Providing bursaries and awards;

Offering a "Getting Ready for University Workshop" in August. For more info or to RSVP, contact MAPS.
MAPS also offers an annual Centennial Award for Certificate/Diploma students. The purpose of this award is to recognize the outstanding efforts of part-time students who undertake many roles in addition to the academic. The recipient will have overcome particularly adverse circumstances in order to attend university or have demonstrated outstanding achievement or commitment in activities distinct from their university studies. The value of the award is $500 and a plaque. Applications can be obtained from the MAPS office. Deadline for applications is August 15.
