Rule on the accumulation of bursaries and scholarships
Students may not receive more than a total of $4,500 in bursaries and scholarships.
This rule does not apply to the Ambassadeur International HEC Montréal scholarship, which is awarded when students return from their exchange.
No external funding will reduce the amount of bursaries/scholarships that HEC Montréal awards to a student.
