All international or domestic students, in full-time or part-time* status, and in good academic standing at Niagara College, are eligible for a Be World Ready grant to help offset the cost of their international experience. You must be actively enroled in studies during the term of travel to participate. Global Learning Experiences participation is permitted only for students who have not yet experienced a Be World Ready GLE since beginning their studies at Niagara College. The BWR grant has been applied to the total cost of the experience to subsidize the rate per person for our GLEs. To qualify for the full value of the BWR grant applied to the GLE, mandatory training and tasks are required to be completed, training and task expectations will be clearly communicated. Failure to complete the requirements as outlined may result in disqualification of grant eligibility.

Eligibility requirements can vary from term-to-term, and from one experience to the next. Please refer to the Global Learning Experience Eligibility Criteria section of the specific GLE page to determine if you are eligible.
