SFU recognizes the demands made by foreign students on their educational journey. At SFU, the Financial Aid and Awards Office is dedicated to offering funding opportunities for international students to provide financial support to eligible applicants to achieve their educational objectives. The University assumes that students can arrange their own financing to satisfy the immigration criteria for the issuance and/or renewal of student permits and visas. The offer of admission to the SFU is not a financial assistance offer. If you are a foreign applicant, you can find out from your home country about their financial aid programs and see if you are eligible for assistance.
