Scholarships for International Students

You could be awarded a scholarship from the university based on academic achievement as well as personal excellence.


Eligibility Requirements:

All scholarships and awards are subject to the following conditions:

• Values are subject to change without notice.
• Entrance scholarships are available to students attending the university from secondary school within 18 months of graduation.
• You have not previously attended a post-secondary institution.
• You may not hold more than one scholarship simultaneously.
• Summer school courses taken immediately prior to the start of the September term and any upgrading marks will not be included in grade calculations for awards.
• You must be enrolled in a minimum 80 per cent course load per term.
• The university reserves the right to determine acceptable academic credentials, grades and prerequisite courses to be used for admissions and awards.
• Continuation of all sources of funding from the university is dependent on maintaining good academic standing, and availability of funds. If you withdraw, change to part-time status, change your program, change your fee status or fail to complete a term, you may have your scholarship reduced or may no longer be eligible for funding.

If you are an international secondary-school student entering an undergraduate program at the university on a study permit and are currently studying outside of Canada, you can apply for the university's Global Leadership Award (GLA).

The GLA is one of our most prestigious entrance awards. Valued at $120,000 CAD ($30,000 CAD a year for four years), the GLA recognizes international secondary school applicants with strong academic and leadership abilities. Canadian citizens and permanent residents are not eligible for the GLA.

If you are an international secondary school student entering an undergraduate program at the university on a study permit, you may be eligible to receive one of the university's International Merit Awards.

International Merit Awards are valued at $20,000 CAD over four years ($5,000 CAD x four years) and will be awarded to applicants with a grade point average of 80 per cent or greater as calculated at the time of admission.  Successful applicants will be notified with an offer of scholarship from the university. 

If a student requires less than four years of full-time study, they will only receive the portion for their study length (ie. If they only study three years full-time, they will receive $15,000 CAD max).

Canadian citizens and permanent residents are not eligible for the International Merit Awards.

This award may not be held in conjunction with other scholarships and/or awards, such as the Global Leadership Award, Awards of Recognition, Major Scholarships or In-Course Scholarships.

Student eligibility for renewal:

• Enrolled in a course load of at least 80 per cent or 12 credit hours (normally, four courses per term)
• Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher in your previous year

Note, if your residency status changes to domestic, you will no longer be eligible to receive this award.

These awards recognize academic accomplishments for recent Canadian secondary-school graduates. If you are an international student who studied at an on-shore secondary school in Canada, you may be eligible to receive an award. The following amounts are automatically awarded in your first year based on your best six 4U/4M courses (or equivalent).

• $4,000 - 95 percent or higher
• $2,000 - 90 to 94.9 percent
• $1,000 - 85 to 89.9 percent

This bursary has been created for international students transferring to Canada due to war or environmental catastrophe. 

There are 10 International Emergency bursaries valued at $20,000 CAD each and are available to international students entering a full-time undergraduate or graduate program. Each bursary is renewable annually for a maximum of four years, provided you are in good academic standing. The funds will be applied directly to your account to offset the cost of your international tuition fees.
