Algoma University Awards of Excellence

Entrance award levels (based on a 30-credit course load; prorated for loads of 24-29 credits), renewable for up to three additional years:

• Platinum: $4,000/year for a 95%+ average (IB 40+ points) — maximum $16,000
• Gold: $3,000/year for a 90-94.9% average (IB 36-39 points) — maximum $12,000
• Silver: $2,500/year for an 85-89.9% average (IB 32-35 points) — maximum $10,000
• Bronze: $1,500/year for an 80-84.9% average (IB 28-31 points) — maximum $6,000

Renewal uses the same tiered scale applied to the student's average after each year; for example, a Bronze-level entrant who achieves 85% in year one is renewed at the Silver level.

Awarded automatically on admission based on the average presented; the general Entrance and Continuing Awards application (for awards requiring a separate application) opens in spring for first consideration by March 1, with applications accepted until July 15 for the following academic year. Awards for the 2026-27 cycle are subject to change without notice.

1. Apply and gain admission to Algoma University as a Canadian citizen secondary-school (or IB Diploma) applicant.
2. No separate application is required for the Award of Excellence itself; eligible admitted students are assessed automatically from their admission average.
3. Maintain the required 24-credit, two-consecutive-term course load each year to keep the renewable award active.

Selection is based solely on the average of the six highest final grades (Grade 12 U/M courses, or IB point total) submitted for admission; no separate essay or interview is required.
