Science AL!VE Programs 2026 Bursary Application:

At Science AL!VE, our aim is to cultivate a safe and healthy environment for participants to explore the fields of science, technology and engineering. We strive to make our programs accessible to all youth by offering bursaries to youth who demonstrate financial need. This year, we have received funding specifically to support bursaries for Indigenous youth. To be considered, please fill out the bursary form below and attach any necessary documentation as requested.

Summer Camp bursaries will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Bursaries will apply to both the cost of camp programs as well as before- and after-care.

Please double-check if your camp topic and week has seats available as we are not able to offer bursaries for camps that are already full.
