Celebrating perseverance and resilience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Quebec Association for Equity and Inclusion in Post-secondary Education (AQEIPS) has spared no effort for the past 27 years. Aware of the constant financial challenges posed by both the cost of living and the academic realities of people with disabilities, the AQEIPS team mobilizes every year to organize a bursary program that would be impossible without the help of our\u00a0generous donors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team<\/a> is as motivated as ever. The program aims to reduce financial barriers and contribute to creating an inclusive environment where all students have the opportunity to thrive academically, while limiting the financial burden associated with their disability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To date, the bursary program has helped nearly 300 students!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was with great joy and gratitude that AQEIPS awarded\u00a0a total of 54 bursaries, ranging in value from $1,250 to $2,000,<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0students with disabilities from the DEP to the doctorate level, throughout Quebec<\/a>, at this year\u2019s ceremony on April 8, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
