Cégep de l’Outaouais asks QC to review criteria for student mobility scholarship program

The Cégep de l’Outaouais has requested that the Government of Québec review the criteria for its “Parcours pour la mobilité étudiante” program. This student mobility scholarship program–launched in Fall 2022–offers select students an annual bursary of $7.5K to study at a cégep located more than 60km away from their residence. Under the current criteria, l’Outaouais is not qualified as one of the 18 eligible cégeps. In response, the Cégep de L’Outaouais, alongside the regional county municipalities of Collines-de-l’Outaouais, Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Pontiac, Papineau, and the City of Gatineau have formally requested that QC grant the institution differentiated criteria so that its students can benefit from the scholarship program.
