The Ivey Cook Bursaries have been established to support students who require a formal assessment performed by a psychologist using standardized methods for neurodevelopmental disorders such as (but not limited to) learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism who do not have the financial means to pay for the assessment. Apply to Student Financial Services with a Financial Need Assessment Form and a letter to awards@uoguelph.ca explaining why they are unable to pay for the formal assessment, indicate who is initiating or supporting the need for an assessment (i.e. SAS) and provide documentation showing amounts already covered through insurance carriers (either the student health plan or the parent(s)). Applications will be assessed as they are submitted to meet the needs of the applicant requiring an assessment.This bursary fund may be used to provide students who receive a Bursary for Students with a Disability (BSWD/CSG-DSE) that partially pays for a formal assessment performed by a psychologist using standardized methods for neurodevelopmental disorders or students who were denied assistance through BSWD/CSG-DSE to pay for a formal assessment performed by a psychologist using standardized methods for neurodevelopmental disorders will be considered automatically in lieu of sufficient applications in any given year.Students are highly encouraged to apply for BSWD/CSG-DSE first before being considered for this bursary.
Students with demonstrated financial need who require a formal assessment performed by a psychologist using standardized methods for neurodevelopmental disorders such as (but not limited to) learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism and who are unable to pay for the required assessment or have out-of-pocket expense after submitting claims through the student health plan, the parent(s) health benefits/coverage, as well as the Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BSWD/CSG-DSE).
