Transfer, Mature, Diploma, Exchange, Special, Part-time and Visiting students are not eligible for entrance scholarships.

There are two types of centrally-administered entrance scholarships:

• One-year Scholarships, valued at $3,000 (non-renewable)
• Major Scholarships, valued between $3,000 and $12,000 (renewable annually up to 3 or 4 years provided criteria for renewal are met)

Recipients of 91社区 scholarships must acquaint themselves with all regulations pertaining to both one-year and major entrance scholarships.

One-year聽entrance scholarships (value: $3,000)

All applicants to 91社区 undergraduate degree programs are automatically considered for a one-year entrance scholarship provided they meet the minimum academic requirements.

Please note: even if you meet the minimum requirements, you are not guaranteed an offer of entrance scholarship.

Applying

These scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of academic achievement, so no separate application is required.

However, you must include the following supporting documents in your application for admission to 91社区:

• All grades and interim grades granted up to the admissions application deadline date
• Subsequent grades (interim or final) forwarded to the admissions office as soon as they are issued

Major entrance scholarships (value: $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $12,000 renewable)

$12,000 scholarships are only available to Canadian citizens or legal permanent residents of Canada.

Major entrance scholarships are determined by selection committees and awarded on the basis of academic achievement and outstanding leadership in school or community activities. Emphasis is placed on academic excellence as the first priority, followed by demonstrated leadership. Please note that "leadership" constitutes more than simple participation in extracurricular activities.

To determine if you may qualify, please review the minimum academic requirements.

Major entrance scholarships are renewable up to 3 or 4 years provided criteria for renewal are met.
