ENGAP

The Engineering Access Program (ENGAP) is designed to provide persons of Aboriginal ancestry with access to university studies leading to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. In pursuit of this goal, ENGAP provides instruction as well as a combination of academic, tutorial, counseling, and financial supports to their students.

PERSONAL SUPPORT

The ENGAP counsellor provides individual and family counseling and assistance with university adjustment, housing, and childcare. Communication and personal development workshops are also put on throughout the year.

To be eligible for ENGAP scholarships and bursaries students must:

  • Have completed 60% of a full course load, as determined by ENGAP, in the previous academic year.
  • Be registered in 60% of a full course load, as determined by ENGAP, in the current academic year.
  • Have an assessed financial need (bursary only).
  • Have a Canada Student Loan / Access Bursary.
