MSVU Undergraduate Entrance Scholarships

Mount Saint Vincent University automatically considers incoming undergraduate students for a group of named, donor-funded entrance scholarships once they have a complete application for admission on file. No separate scholarship application is required; a scholarship average is calculated from the applicant's own academic record and matched against the eligibility rules of each named award.

The scholarship average is built from the applicant's top five Grade 12 academic grades, including English (or the top Grade 11 grades where fewer than five Grade 12 academic grades are available). Each International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement or advanced-level course used in the average adds one percentage point to it. The official transcript must show at least three Grade 12 academic grades by the application deadline to qualify.

Recent high-school graduates who have not yet attended a post-secondary institution and are within one year of graduation remain eligible for consideration. The named awards range from general entrance scholarships open to any entering student to awards tied to a specific program (Bachelor of Business Administration, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Applied Human Nutrition), a specific high school, or a demographic group such as Indigenous, Black or African Nova Scotian, Filipino, or female students.
