ACT's Bursary Policy

Bursaries - Frequently Asked Questions
 

How Do I Qualify?

Anyone attending an ACT workshop is eligible if the cost is a barrier preventing attendance. Priority is given to BC residents and to parents and participants who are low income or who are facing significant travel expenses in addition to the workshop registration fee. We rely on your honest appraisal of your situation. If you cannot otherwise pay for the workshop please contact us. You are not required to provide documentation to support your request.

We cannot grant a bursary request AFTER you have already registered for a workshop. 

All requests must be made at least one week before the workshop date, to allow us time to process your application. Bursaries are provided as reduced workshop registration fees.

How do I apply for a bursary?

Please send in your request prior to registering for the event, and at least a week before the event.
