St. Lawrence College (SLC) is pleased to announce the launch of a new entrance bursary program for domestic students, designed to assist those with financial need as they begin their college education. Bursaries are available for incoming students to each of SLC’s locations in Kingston, Brockville, and Cornwall.  The program will provide financial support to up to 300 eligible students, with each bursary valued at $1,000. These needs-based bursaries will be available to incoming SLC students coming directly from high school and for mature applicants, and do not require OSAP application for eligibility. 

SLC is evolving to meet the needs of today's students and our communities in Brockville and Cornwall. The college has undergone significant changes in recent months as we have reduced our program offerings, reduced and restructured our team, and begun work to adapt our operations.  Federal immigration policy changes have reduced international students' access to study in Ontario, a situation exacerbated by a provincial funding and tuition model for post-secondary education that has left us underfunded for close to a decade. Along with other Ontario colleges, SLC has taken action to remain financially sustainable. SLC is addressing a $25 million deficit for the upcoming year caused by a sharp drop in enrollment, with impacts beginning this spring. 

St. Lawrence College (SLC) has announced the suspension of intakes to programs at their three campuses beginning with the spring, 2025 semester. Despite these changes, SLC remains committed to supporting students, employers, and the broader Eastern Ontario community with their training and workforce needs.   “Since January of last year, a series of federal government policy decisions have drastically affected our ability to grow and operate as usual. Many of the changes were short-sighted and did not consider what makes colleges, the regions that we serve, and our students unique. Colleges have navigated a long list of restrictions and cutbacks in the past 12 months, leading to us having to suspend programs. As a driver of workforce growth and a community leader, we are committed to maintaining a presence in the communities that we serve, and to helping our students and graduates succeed," said Glenn Vollebregt, SLC President and CEO. 

St. Lawrence College (SLC) is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its new Specialty Nursing Lab on the Brockville campus, a state-of-the-art facility that will establish the campus as a premier health sciences study hub for all Eastern Ontario.  Funded by a generous $310,000 donation—including $200,000 from an anonymous donor, $100,000 from the Tom and Gail Kaneb Family Foundation, and $10,000 from the Don and Shirley Green Family Charitable Foundation—the Specialty Nursing Lab is poised to transform the future of healthcare education in the region.
