Partially funded

Chancellor's Scholarship

University of Regina, Canada

Scholarship overview

The Chancellor's Scholarship is the University of Regina's flagship entrance award for academically high-achieving domestic students entering directly from high school, or as high school graduates who have not completed any post-secondary coursework (apart from courses taken while still in high school, such as the High School Accelerated Program).

Up to 14 scholarships are awarded each year. Recipients receive $10,000 per year for up to four years, plus fully funded on-campus housing in their first year, bringing the total value of each award to over $46,000. Beyond the funding, recipients are assigned an academic mentor, join cohort leadership programming, and are invited to university events and social activities designed to build a supportive community among scholarship recipients.

Six of the fourteen awards are reserved for specific applicant groups: one for an Indigenous applicant, one for an out-of-province applicant, one for an applicant from the Chinook School Division, one for an applicant from the Christ the Teacher Roman Catholic, Horizon, or Good Spirit school divisions, one for an applicant from the Prince Albert Roman Catholic or Saskatchewan Rivers school divisions, and one for an applicant from a First Nations school. If no qualified applicant exists in a reserved category, the award goes to the general applicant pool.

How selection works

Selection is based on the admission average threshold, the supplementary information form, activity summary, and academic reference. Applicants are expected to complete the application in their own words; use of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT is treated as a breach of this expectation. Six of the fourteen awards are reserved for specific applicant categories (Indigenous, out-of-province, and particular Saskatchewan school divisions), with unfilled reserved spots going to the general pool. Recipients must participate in Chancellor's Scholarship programming and recruitment initiatives and agree to be featured in university promotional campaigns. Renewal for years two through four requires a minimum sessional GPA of 80% and a minimum of 18 credit hours completed per year (12 for students with permanent disabilities).
