What kind of financial aid is available to me as an international student?

All financial aid and scholarships are administered through the SFU Financial Aid and Awards office. You may read about what's available to international students on this page. For further inquiries, please contact the Financial Aid office directly.

It is important to recognize that the cost of living in Vancouver is high, and the University assumes that students have arranged their own funding to meet immigration requirements for the issuance and/or renewal of student authorizations and visas. Financial assistance that is available through SFU for international students is limited and not guaranteed. You may use the budget estimator tool to determine the approximate expenses per semester.
