Memorial University Early Scholar Program

Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Scholarship overview

The Memorial University Early Scholar Program is an early-acceptance entrance scholarship awarded automatically to undergraduate applicants who qualify for a general entrance scholarship based on their early admission average. Students do not apply separately for the scholarship; eligibility is assessed when they apply for early admission.

The award amount is guaranteed at the time of early acceptance and does not change if a student's final admission average later differs from the early admission average used to calculate it. Students who go on to qualify for one of Memorial's named entrance scholarships based on their final admission average may have their Early Scholar award replaced by the higher-value named award.

Award Information

  • Open to domestic students applying from a Newfoundland and Labrador or other Canadian high school curriculum.
  • Eligibility is based on an early admission average, calculated from the best grades in a Level 2 (Grade 11) or Level 3 (Grade 12) mathematics course, science course and English course, completed by the end of Grade 11 (first-semester Grade 12 marks are excluded).
  • Students must apply for admission to Memorial by March 1 of their high school graduation year to be considered.
  • The scholarship is non-renewable; students must achieve scholarship standing in their first year to be considered for scholarships in their second year.
  • May be held together with scholarships from outside agencies, but may be replaced by a higher-value Memorial entrance scholarship for which the student becomes eligible.

For the fall 2027 intake, domestic students with the following early admission averages receive:

  • 98% and higher: CAD 6,000
  • 95%-97.9%: CAD 2,000
  • 93%-94.9%: CAD 1,000

Applicants must submit their admission application by March 1 of their high school graduation year (March 1, 2027 for the fall 2027 intake) to be considered for the Early Scholar Program.

  1. Apply for undergraduate admission to Memorial University by March 1 of the graduation year.
  2. No separate scholarship application is required; eligibility for the Early Scholar Program is assessed automatically from the early admission average submitted with the admission application.
  3. Recipients are notified of their scholarship as part of their early acceptance into Memorial.
  4. The scholarship is applied to the student's university account once high school graduation and full-time undergraduate registration are confirmed.
