It is collected, protected, used, disclosed and retained in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 165). This information is being collected for the purpose of registering participants attending outreach programs with the Faculty of Applied Sciences (FAS).

SFU Applied Sciences Outreach (with Science AL!VE) strives to engage youth in hands-on science, technology, engineering, art & design, and mathematics (STEAM) based programs to build measurable skills and improve self-confidence. Aligned with the SFU Faculty of Applied Sciences’ mandate, we aim to dispel stereotypes in the field of science and engineering and work towards achieving diversity and inclusion. We work to empower those traditionally underrepresented groups in STEAM by developing barrier-free programs for girls, at-risk youth, and Indigenous communities.

We are committed to making our programs accessible to as many youth as possible by offering bursaries to subsidize program fees. To be considered, please fill out the bursary form below. We also ask that parents/guardians apply for bursaries based on their current needs. These bursaries enable us to extend our reach to youth who may otherwise be unable to participate in our programs due to financial barriers.

Please do not register for the program before submitting a bursary application. We aim to respond to your bursary application within two weeks and may request a copy of your most recent notice of assessment for verification purposes.

Deadline: The last day to submit a bursary application is Sunday, June 16 at 11:59 pm PT.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Eva at sacoord@sfu.ca.
