Money Matters
Mount A is a premier university where your dollar works hard. While many universities charge fees on top of tuition, Mount A prefers to include most of their fees within the general tuition fee - so the price of a Mount Allison education is not as high as you might think. Our 2008-2009 International Tuition Fee is only $13,440.00 for a Full-Time student!
In attracting top students, Mount Allison offers one of the strongest and most competitive scholarship and bursary programs in Canada.
Shh - don't tell anyone. Maybe we're one of the best kept secrets around!
International students are eligible for all scholarships and bursaries. In 2007, 65% of our entering class received entrance awards. Students may also apply for financial aid bursaries when they arrive on campus, which are based on financial need. ount Allison offers a very generous bursary program. Being short on funds can be stressful, and Mount A recognizes that the more time you spend worrying about finances, the less time you have to maximize your university experience.
