OCDSB/OCENET International Study Abroad Bursary - For Student
Making a difference all over the World
Our students make a difference at home and around the World and we support that!
The Ottawa-Carleton Education Network has established a bursary to support and encourage students to engage in cultural exchange, international learning and the development of global competencies.
What kind of exchange qualifies for this bursary?
A number of experiences can qualify for these bursaries including:
- Student Study Abroad
- Cultural Exchanges (including remote communities in northern Canada)
- International School Trips (Outside Canada and the United States)
- Summer credit courses abroad (must be a recognized credit in Ontario)
NOTE: Family and personal travel are NOT eligible.
How it works
When a student has committed to extending their learning through an international experience but their family can’t afford to unlock the opportunity, students may apply to the OCENET Study Abroad Bursary. Bursaries are granted between $250 to $1,000 to assist students with their International Study Abroad opportunity.
Applications are accepted here throughout the year with deadlines on November 30 and May 31.
Please contact Sean Oussoren, International Education Coordinator, for any questions.
