Student Applied Leadership Training (SALT)
We have created the SALT program to lower student debt and provide a valuable holistic education.
SALT provides a bursary equivalent to a single dorm room accommodation for eligible second, third, and fourth-year students participating in specific campus positions. (Students are eligible for SALT positions once they have completed 24 credits towards their program).
Eligibility
In order to qualify, students will have to meet the following eligibility requirements:
Must live in dorm or Davidson apartments. Married students may live off campus.
Must be enrolled in at least 9 credits each semester. Students in their final semester may qualify if they have fewer credits to complete for graduation.
Must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 and not be on Academic Probation.
Apply for a position by contacting the supervisor listed beside the positions on this page.
Students pursuing their program via Online Education or Hyflex are not eligible to participate in the SALT program
