Automatic

Special Entrance Scholarships

The Special Entrance Scholarships are automatically offered to all Grade 12 graduating students coming directly from a high school in Canada, and to international students from the United States, or those studying Canadian curriculum abroad. All students must meet the conditions below. These scholarships are offered without the necessity of a scholarship application. 

Who is Eligible?

  • Have at least an 80% final Grade 12 award average (see below for the calculation)
  • Apply for admission to the University by March 1
  • Enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours for the Fall/Winter.
How is My Award Average Calculated?

For all students (Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology, Education, and Science), the scholarship average is calculated based on the following:
  • Best 40S English (Comprehensive Focus, Literary Focus or Transactional Focus), and
  • Best 40S Math (Pre-Calculus, Applied Math or Essential/Consumer Math), and
  • One other 40S credit.

When will I get notification?

Students studying in Canada will receive Conditional Special Entrance Scholarship offers based on interim Grade 12 grades in May (early June for students applying to the Education program). In July, once final Grade 12 grades have been received, all students (Domestic & International) will be notified of their final scholarship value.

Can I Defer this Scholarship?

Yes! If you will be taking a year off between high school and university to travel or take part in a volunteer program, you may defer your offer of admission and the Special Entrance Scholarship for up to one year. Please contact the Admissions Office to defer your offer by June 1. Students attending another school or organization for educational credit can not defer their scholarship.

What is the Value of the Scholarship?

The value is determined in the following way:

95% or Higher   $2,250

90-94.9%            $1,750

86-89.9%            $1,100

80-85.9%            $800

 
Some Other Tips:
  • The value of the Special Entrance Scholarships will be determined based on final Grade 12 grades.
  • Conditional Special Entrance Scholarship offers will be sent to students studying in Canada only, and will be subject to change based on final Grade 12 grades.
  • International students studying a Canadian curriculum outside of Canada will only be sent a final Special Entrance Scholarship offer in July.
  • All Entrance awards will be applied directly to your 2013-14 Fall/Winter session tuition fees.
