Features June 1, 2022

Burman University offers both high-quality Christian education and an environment where students are enveloped in a spiritual atmosphere with other likeminded Christians, while being the most affordable Seventh-day Adventist university in North America. Situated within the hereditary Indigenous land of the Treaty Six Territory in Lacombe, Alta., Burman’s diverse campus family is drawn from across Alberta, Canada, and around the globe. For more than a century, Burman has empowered students to serve their communities.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada (SDACC) is pleased to announce that, in partnership with Canadian conferences, it is making it even more affordable for new students to attend Burman. Seventy new scholarships—valued at $2,000 each—are being offered to first-time entrants (both new and transfer students) for the 2022/23 school year. This is offered in addition to the three-way matching scholarships—involving Burman, the local church, and local conference—and the summer employment/volunteer service scholarship (valued at $1,000), which are already in place.

Prospective candidates must meet the following eligibility criteria and apply through their local conference office:

  1. First-time entrant to Burman (new or transfer)
  2. Adventist membership or regular attendee
  3. Canadian citizen or permanent resident
  4. Accepted into a Burman degree
  5. Registered for a full course load

Over the years, students, families, teachers, and the community have been witnesses to the fact that Burman University is a place where many dreams start. The SDACC and Canadian conferences invite you to take one step closer toward achieving your dreams. Please contact your local conference office for more information on these scholarships:
