Concordia Entrance Bursary Program

Concordia University, Canada

Scholarship overview

The Entrance Bursary Program gives needs-based financial support to students newly admitted to an undergraduate Bachelor's degree program in any discipline, joining Concordia in Winter 2026 or Fall 2026. Awards are decided through a financial-needs test, a review of the applicant's academic ranking from admission, and a holistic reading of the applicant's personal statement.

The program is open to Canadian and international students whose most recent studies were at a CEGEP, Canadian high school, or international equivalent, and to Mature Entry applicants with prior independent studies at Concordia. It is not available to newly admitted students with previous university studies (including transfer students), who may instead apply for an In-Course Bursary, or to students whose parents receive tuition waivers on their behalf.

Documents you will need

Supporting documents are requested through a To-Do list generated in the Student Centre once the application is under review; applicants upload documents under "Entrance Bursary Required Document" rather than through the main upload link or by email.

How selection works

Entrance Bursary recipients are selected by committees overseen by the Undergraduate Awards Office on behalf of the Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards Committee. The committee's evaluation covers the applicant's financial situation, academic performance, personal statement and supporting documentation, compared against the rest of the applicant pool. Decisions are normally made in the summer term.
