Bursaries

The Transgender Endowed Academic Bursary was originally established in 2012 by former faculty member Dr. Kean Savard (EdD, MSc). It is intended for students who identify as trans, two-spirit, non-binary, or other non-cisgender identity. The student can be from any program, part-time or full-time, but must be in good academic standing. 

Name Change Bursary The Fleming Colleagues 2SLGBTQ+ employee association offers a fund to cover costs associated with legal name changes. To access this fund, email: namechange@flemingcollege.ca

Students can find instructions on how to change both their preferred and legal names on the Office of The Registrar’s Name Change page.
