UCCSVI Announcement of ESL Tuition and Books Funding Support

Many Ukrainians who have left their home country under conditions of extreme urgency as a result of a war crisis are in need of rapid English language acquisition as a crucial aspect of adaptation and integration. While free ESL programs exist in our community, individual scheduling remains a challenge for some. With this in mind, UCCSVI is committing $20,000 to support Ukrainian newcomers to help pay for their ESL studies.

Applicant Eligibility:

• Arrived on CUAET visa after March 2022
  Eligible Programs covered:
  • Offered by a Canadian credible registered provider (individual tutoring support is not eligible), with official tuition & books receipts
  • Any level of English language study
  • Program took place from March 2022 onwards, until funding is fully allocated

Financial Support:

• Reimbursements up to $500 per applicant
• Covers up to 50% of out-of-pocket payment for tuition and books fees that are not
  covered by other sources.
• Proof of payment will be required for reimbursement. Sorry, no advanced payments can be provided.
