TUITION
Do you wish our tuition was a little bit lower?
While our program is university accredited and our tuition therefore reflects that of St. Stephen's University, IRPJ is committed to helping our students keep their costs down. To this end, IRPJ offers a limited number of generous bursaries and scholarships from our Jim Forest Scholarship and Bursary Fund. Visit here to find out more and to apply!
