Full-time students taking a minimum of 3 courses each semester and no less than 9 courses in a school year, and who demonstrate excellent academic achievement and Christian character during their studies are eligible for a Bursary. The amount of the grant is subject to the applicant's personal financial situation and actual needs.

Scholarships are awarded to the top 3 students of each academic year.

This bursary is specially offered to encourage students to pursue their studies in the M.Div. Program at the Canadian Chinese School of Theology Vancouver for pastoral ministry in the future. The program is funded by the Allison Yeung Bursary Fund donated by Mrs. Allison Yeung.

An applicant must be enrolled in the M.Div. program as a full-time student and take a minimum of three courses per semester in the last school year. The student should meet an average GPA standard of B or above.

Spousal Discount is provided as an encouragement to all full time students' spouses. A discount of 50% off towards the tuition will be automatically applied to all full time students' spouses when he/ she registers as a full time or part time student in the same term as the primary student. Primary student is the one who is taking full time with relatively more courses at CCST Vancouver. Primary student and his/ her spouse need to pay in full tuition after registration. After the deadline of dropping courses, the discount amount will come as a refund to the spouse in a cheque. The eligibility will be reviewed at each term.
