How selection works

Entrance scholarships are based on the program selected and the applicant's admission average (or AGPA for international applicants). In the Faculty of Nursing, all students meeting the Chancellor's Scholarship requirement receive the offer at admission, with President's and Provost's Scholarships awarded afterward up to a combined total of 60 across the three tiers. For international tiers, if qualified students exceed available funds, scholarships are awarded beginning with the highest averages until funds are exhausted. The Fall-term scholarship is disbursed in two equal installments (Fall and Winter), requiring at least 12 credits enrolled each term and, for the Winter installment, a minimum 2.0 GPA in the Fall term; the Winter-entrance scholarship is disbursed in the Winter term to students enrolled in at least 12 credits. Domestic Chancellor's Scholarship holders may renew the award in years 2-4 by maintaining program enrolment, GPA and course load.
