Financial Aid & Scholarship Information
Prairie has a number of funds to assist students in meeting their educational costs. We offer scholarships and bursaries that are available to both new and returning students. At present all of Prairie’s financial awards are based on financial need. Students on academic and/or conduct probation will not normally receive financial assistance or scholarships. The deadline for all financial assistance (including the Local Church Scholarship Matching Program) is June 1 2010.

Alumni Referral Bursary
We appreciate the ongoing support of our Alumni. To provide meaningful ways to show their support, we have created the Alumni Referral Bursary. This is a tangible way that alumni can encourage students to attend Prairie. This $1,000 bursary is awarded to qualifying applicants who have been nominated by an alumnus. For complete details click here.
Disbursements
Scholarships are awarded in amounts varying from $200 - $2000. The total funds available are listed in the Financial Aid Information Package. Students who are granted a scholarship from Prairie will have it applied to their student account following registration in January (second semester). Failure to enroll in September disqualifies the student from the entire award.
If you have any questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office.
