Estimate tuition and find bursaries
The Computer Programming page points applicants to Algonquin’s tuition and related-ancillary-fee estimator for the 2026/27 academic year and says fees are subject to change. The page does not show a program-specific domestic or international tuition total, so use the estimator for your applicant category instead of relying on a single headline figure.
Algonquin’s awards information distinguishes need-based bursaries, merit awards, and awards with campus or program restrictions. The published bursary cycle lists Fall 2026 applications through September 22, 2026, Winter 2027 from December 22, 2026 to January 20, 2027, and Spring 2027 from April 22 to May 19, 2027. Individual eligibility and funding are not guaranteed by submitting an application.
Check the entrance-bursary deadlines
A separate 2026/27 entrance bursary provides $500 automatically to eligible new full-time Level 1 students starting in September 2026 or January 2027. Eligibility requires full-time OSAP eligibility, at least $1 of assessed need, and the listed admission-confirmation, OSAP, deposit, and enrolment conditions. The January 2027 schedule recommends admission application before October 1, 2026 and lists October 31 for the OSAP application and December 1 for offer confirmation; there is no separate bursary application.
Decision checklist
- Use the estimator for the selected program, applicant category, and academic year.
- Check each award’s eligibility, campus/program restriction, route, and deadline.
- Keep residence, meal-plan, application, and program fees as separate budget lines.
