Congratulations! You’ve earned a grant from the Faculty of Music.
Here’s the procedure to follow to receive your grant.

How grant deposit works
Activate your direct deposit:
Register for direct deposit and validate your mailing address in the student center by October 1 (fall semester) or February 1 (winter semester). Consult the direct deposit registration procedure to facilitate receipt of your grant.
Payment details:
The grant will be awarded in 1 or 2 payments, directly on tuition fees on the tuition payment deadline, whether on October 15 (fall) or February 15 (winter).
- For grants of $5,000 or less, a single payment will be made.
- For grants of $5,001 or more, two payments will be made, in equal amounts. The first half will be paid in the first semester, and the second half will be paid the following semester.
If your grant fails to cover the total amount of your tuition, please pay the balance of your invoice by the deadline. Below are some examples:
| Total of the school invoice | Grant awarded | 1st automatic payment on October 15 | Balance to be paid by October | 2nd automatic payment on February 15 |
Example #1 | $1 800 | $1 000 | $1 000 (on your tuition fees) | $800 | $0 |
Example #2 | $1 800 | $5 000 | $5 000 $1 800 (on your tuition fees) | $0 | $0 |
Example #3 | $1 800 | $8 000 | $4 000 $1 800 (on your tuition fees) | $0 | $4 500 |
