Memorial University, Red River College Polytechnic, and Vancouver Community College have each announced special bursaries and tuition waivers to encourage enrolment and make postsecondary education more financially accessible. The Memorial Faculty of Medicine Vision Program has launched a new pathway for applicants with low socioeconomic status, which includes an application fee waiver, a bursary toward the seat deposit, and funding for MCAT and Casper exam fees and preparatory materials. RRC Polytech will waive application and seat deposit fees for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit learners for the month of January. VCC is offering one-time early admission awards for the first group of students to accept their offer of admission in select programs.
