СÖíÊÓƵ

The СÖíÊÓƵ 1982 Bursary Endowment, funded by numerous donors, supports students with financial need. One or more scholarships up to or greater than $500 will support students who most need financial support to attend СÖíÊÓƵ. This endowment ensures that a СÖíÊÓƵChrist-centered education is within reach for many more students.

For Incoming Students:

• Students who have earned 95% or higher on their admission average (GPA 4.00+ for U.S. students) will be eligible and considered for an Academic Achievement Scholarship valued at $2,000.

• Students who earn a GPA of 11.00 or better during any year of full-time study (two terms with a minimum of four courses/12 credits per term) at СÖíÊÓƵ will be eligible and considered for a $2,000 scholarship to be used while enrolled in full-time studies at the university during the following year.

At least one student from each of the three academic divisions will receive this scholarship.

As a tribute to Adriana Van Weelden, mother of a long-time business professor, two scholarships of at least $1,500 will be given annually to returning students enrolled as a four-year major or honours major in Business.

Recognizing the concepts presented in Micah 6:8 and Isaiah 40:31, the importance of portraying the love of God through humility, kindness, and justice comes through the understanding that it is only through God's strength and authority that disciples of Christ reflect His hands and feet here on earth. Students must submit a 500-word essay describing their understanding of Micah 6:8 and Isaiah 40:31 and how Christ's strength enables them to reflect humility, kindness, and justice to the communities they are part of at СÖíÊÓƵand the broader community.

This bursary was established in honour of Emeritus Professor Henry Brouwer for his deep commitment to caring for God’s creation over his many years of dedicated service to СÖíÊÓƵ and the Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies. The aim of this bursary is to aid students with demonstrated financial need to cover the costs associated with taking courses at Au Sable. Bursaries of up to $1,000 per course taken at Au Sable are available, with a limit of two bursaries per student over their time at Redeemer. Preference will be given to students enrolled in an Environmental Science/Studies major. However, students enrolled in other programs are encouraged to apply as additional bursaries may be available depending on the availability of funds. Students are required to apply by emailing financialaid@redeemer.ca by March 31 prior to the summer they plan to attend Au Sable. The Environmental Studies Department will rank the applicants.

Funded by the staff of СÖíÊÓƵ, a bursary of at least $1,000 will be awarded each year to a new or returning student who is enrolled at СÖíÊÓƵand has a demonstrated financial need.
