University Canada West (UCW) announced on Aug. 23 the changes applied to its Americas Tuition bursary, the institution’s popular initiative that provides tuition support to students from Central America, North America, South America, and the Caribbean.
The changes to the Americas Tuition bursary were in line with the university’s tuition updates to continue improving its programs, facilities, services, and resources. With these updates, UCW will discontinue the bursary starting in 2023; students currently enrolled will still have to pay domestic tuition fees until the end of their program.
Key Takeaways:
- The Americas Tuition bursary provided by the University Canada West will be discontinued starting in 2023.
- UCW announced changes about this popular initiative in line with the updates on the institution’s tuition fees.
- UCW made such changes to improve the institution’s quality of service and to ensure student support.
In the case of new students who will be receiving their Letter of Acceptance (LOA) by Sept. 30 this year, they will also be required to pay domestic tuition fee rates until the end of their program.
Despite these changes, students should also note the recent changes applied to the university’s tuition schedule where current Americas Tuition students and new students who receive their LOA by Sept. 30 will notice a modest fee increase in each of the following three years.
Moving forward, more extensive changes await new students as the new year starts in 2022. The Americas Tuition bursary will not be tied to domestic tuition anymore, but students will still enjoy significant discounts on international student tuition.
Since the UCW’s bursary will end in 2023, the students will be required to pay regular international tuition fees and expect to experience an additional fee in January 2024.
According to UCW President and Vice-Chancellor Brock Dykeman, such changes are necessary to improve the institution’s quality of service and to ensure that every student has the support needed to succeed and thrive academically, professionally, and in their personal life.
Dykeman added that the institution would continue to invest in the pursuit of improving the students’ experiences even further.
