Board of Governors (BoG) Entrance Scholarships

Brandon University, Canada

Scholarship overview

Brandon University automatically considers every applicant from an accredited Canadian high school for a Board of Governors (BoG) Entrance Scholarship, awarded on the strength of a five-course high school average. No separate scholarship application is required for this award.

Students who have completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or individual IB and Advanced Placement (AP) courses can receive additional scholarship amounts on top of, or instead of, the BoG award, whichever combination is more favourable to the student.

Award Information

  • Enter Brandon University directly from an accredited Canadian high school; a one-year gap year is permitted provided no accredited post-secondary study is undertaken during that time.
  • Averages are calculated on five Grade 11 or Grade 12 courses: English 30S/40S, a Mathematics course (Applied or Pre-Calculus 30S/40S), and three further approved 30S/40S courses.
  • Students applying before June 28 are assessed on final Grade 11 grades; those applying between June 28 and the university's application deadline are assessed on final Grade 12 grades.
  • Recipients must maintain registration in a minimum of 12 credit hours in each of the Fall and Winter terms of the award year.
  • IB Diploma holders receive an IB Scholarship (by overall IB score) or a BoG Scholarship (by high school average), whichever is higher; individual IB Higher/Standard Level course scores of 5-7, and AP course scores of 4-5, add further amounts submitted to Admissions by August 31.
