MSVU Undergraduate Entrance Bursary (2026-27)

Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada

Scholarship overview

The Undergraduate Entrance Bursary is a need-based award for students entering their first undergraduate degree at Mount Saint Vincent University, including transfer students. It is non-renewable and non-transferable, and the number of bursaries is limited. Bachelor of Education and graduate students are not eligible.

Alongside the standard entrance bursary, MSVU also offers three separate renewable undergraduate entrance bursaries that continue for up to four years, or until program completion, provided the student keeps meeting the eligibility criteria.
