The AQEIPS Bursary Program: 26th Edition 🎉 

What is the AQEIPS bursary program ?

The Québec Association for Equity and Inclusion in Post-Secondary Education (AQEIPS) is proud to launch the 26th edition of its bursary program for post-secondary students with disabilities (SWD). The goal of the program is to support SWD who often face increased costs and barriers when pursuing their post-secondary education. The program also serves to encourage students to persevere on their path to a higher education. Our bursary program is made possible by the generous donations of donors, partners, and members.
