Seneca, CEWIL Canada launch bursary program to support students completing unpaid WIL

News

Seneca Polytechnic and CEWIL Canada have launched a bursary program that will provide financial support to students who are completing unpaid work-integrated learning (WIL). Seneca Works will distribute nearly $700K in $1.5K bursaries to domestic students who are completing community and industry research and projects, field placements, internships, and service learning. The initiative aims to remove financial barriers that may keep students from participating in unpaid WIL. “This bursary program represents a forward-thinking approach to education, one that recognizes the importance of practical experience and the need to support students in every aspect of their learning,” said Seneca Works Dean Dario Guescini.
