The Audrey Lawrence AC Online Bursary

Algonquin Board of Governors’ member, Audrey Lawrence, has recently established the Audrey Lawrence AC Online Bursary – one of the first of its kind in Ontario.

The Audrey Lawrence AC Online Bursary will represent five distinct bursaries, with one directed to an Indigenous student. In setting out the criteria for this bursary, Audrey wished to support our AC Online campus, understanding its great potential to reach learners. This includes many Indigenous students who reside in more remote parts of the province and the country who wish to remain in their community.

While distance education has long been a hallmark of Algonquin College, since the launch of its dedicated online campus a year ago, there has been a 26 per cent increase in online enrollments. This surge in growth includes over 13,000 unique students and 56,000 online course enrollments, both all-time highs for Algonquin College.
