Tuition
In the absence of federal or provincial funding, tuition revenue and private donations cover the costs of operating the University. Full-time tuition for the academic years (two semesters/eight blocks) in 2011–2012 is $27,000. Average full-time tuition for Canadian universities in 2010–11 was $5,138. The Vancouver Sun noted, "tuition of $24,000 (2009 Tuition, $26,000) a year might seem high by Canadian standards, but it's a bargain compared with similar schools in the U.S." To lessen the difference between a family's resources and the cost of attending Quest, the University provides scholarships, bursaries, and employment opportunities.

Famous quotes containing the word tuition:
“You send your child to the schoolmaster, but ‘tis the schoolboys who educate him. You send him to the Latin class, but much of his tuition comes, on his way to school, from the shop- windows.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Miss C_____ is ... remarkably neat in her person and is uncommonly diligent in every part of useful economy.... She hath indeed under her father’s tuition acquired ... a large share of real learning of almost all the living and dead languages. Nor was the leisure which she found for such acquirements produced by neglecting anything necessary or useful for the family, but by the most assiduous industry.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
