The Student Refugee Program (SRP) began in 1978, and as part of the World University Services of Canada (WUSC), brings students currently living in conflict areas to live and continue their education in Canada.
Due to limited resources, education can be difficult or impossible for individuals living in a refugee camp to continue. Refugees often flee their country because of war, a natural disaster, or political repression, and may struggle with having their basic needs met.
In February 2017, Alexander College implemented a $5 fee per term for all registered students to support a sponsored student. 100% of this fee will go towards supporting the student’s transitional and living expenses in their first year. Learn more about how the $5 fee will support the student here.
Alexander College consistently encourages students to get involved in supporting our refugee students. Please contact the Student Life Department by email: studentlife@alexandercollege.ca for more information.
