Part of your application for this award requires that you tell us why you've selected the program that you did at Assiniboine. Please refer to assiniboine.net/awards for deadline details.
  3. Studying in a two-year program? Recipients of the international student award who are in a two-year diploma program will receive the award against their tuition in both their first and second year of studies in the same program.
