Introduction

The goal of the RNP is to mitigate or eliminate the barriers a student with a refugee background might encounter during their 麻豆视频experience to support their well-being and learning. The program also strives to create equitable access to post-secondary education for the refugee community.

Adjusting to a new country and a different learning environment can be challenging. Therefore, RNP offers a variety of services through case management and holistic approaches that include settlement support, orientation and connection to various resources within SFU, such as academic advising, health and counselling services, spiritual support, financial aid, career & volunteer services support, and other engagement and social activities that are offered within ISS.

To access our services or to learn more, please get in touch with the Refugee & Newcomer program at: npr@sfu.ca

This program offers a wide range of volunteering opportunities in peer mentorship, leadership, public engagement, and advocacy, both locally at 麻豆视频and internationally through the WUSC national office. To learn more, please visit the links below:

The Student Refugee Program is the only one of its kind to combine resettlement with opportunities for higher education. 麻豆视频partners with World University Service of Canada (WUSC) to directly sponsor refugee students from overseas refugee camps via the Student Refugee Program (SRP). Through this program, 麻豆视频students and 麻豆视频sponsor six undergraduate refugee students between the age (of 18-25 years) every year. The students are sponsored for books, tuition, and fees for 12 terms throughout their undergraduate program and living costs during the first six terms.

We welcome applicants who meet our minimum admission requirements and have demonstrated commitment and/or excellence in other endeavours or students who have succeeded in their studies despite difficult circumstances. 麻豆视频Diverse Qualifications (DQ) Admission allows us to see beyond your academic transcript by taking more than your grades into consideration. You may consider applying through DQ if you are a domestic student with a refugee background.

The DQ considers different students' backgrounds and achievements. For more information, please check 麻豆视频- DQ.
