International applicants who are passport holders of a Commonwealth nation* and studying outside of Canada will be awarded Huron’s new Commonwealth Bursary.

The bursary includes the following:

• $40,000 scholarship over four years ($10,000 per year)
• $1,000 to use toward an international academic experience in subsequent years

Please note: You must be starting your undergraduate studies at Huron in September 2026 to be eligible. Students who are Canadian passport holders or permanent residents are not eligible for this bursary.

Huron is proud to be one of the only universities in Canada to offer international students aid on the basis of financial need, rather than just merit alone. We believe the transformative, world-class education at Huron should be accessible to all students who possess the potential and talent to meet our admission standards, while minimizing financial barriers to deserving students as much as possible.

Huron International Financial Aid (HIFA) is designed for students who are still facing challenges in affording a Huron education, despite any International Entrance Scholarship which they may have received. It allows students who can demonstrate this financial need, to be considered for additional financial aid by submitting the HIFA application and supporting documents.

Value: 5%-50% tuition
Renewability: Up to 4 years

Requirements:

• HIFA Form
• Detailed, latest Income Tax returns
• Latest pay slips from guardian(s)’ employer(s)
• Bank statements from July 1, 2025 until now, including statements of bank savings, fixed deposits, as well as other investments (e.g. market value of shares/bonds/mutual funds) held at your respective bank(s)/institution(s). If you and/or your guardians have multiple bank accounts, you must disclose statements from all bank accounts.

NOTE: International entrance scholarships and financial aid may be combined to a maximum of 50% tuition. Students will be responsible for all remaining tuition, ancillary fees, and residence/meal plan costs.

International applicants are automatically assessed for a one-time, non-renewable Entrance Scholarship, based on their academic results and personal statement. Qualifying students will be awarded $1,000 to $15,000 in first year. They will also receive an additional $1,000 to use toward an international academic experience in subsequent years.

Please note: You must be starting your undergraduate studies at Huron in September 2026 to be eligible.
