Georgian offers awards, scholarships and bursaries to students of all walks of life — domestic, international and Indigenous, first years, upcoming graduates and everyone in between. You can afford this!
With more than 650 awards and scholarships available to students each year with a combined value of over $750,000, we’re confident there’s one for you!

Housing
It’s important to start thinking about housing in Canada. Choose between on-campus residence, off-campus housing or homestay! You should spend time researching, contacting people and building connections. We encourage you to start connecting with Georgian representatives, your future classmates, as well as landlords in the community. You can always email International Centre staff to learn more about housing.
It’s also important to have the right budget for your life in Canada. Housing will likely be your largest monthly expense.
