SFU Entrance Awards

Scholarship overview

SFU's Entrance Awards are worth $5,000 each and are based on community contributions and financial need rather than top academic results. They are open only to domestic (Canadian citizen or permanent resident) high school applicants entering in the Fall term. One complete application is considered for all four named awards: the H.Y. Louie Entrance Award, the Lohn Foundation Entrance Award, the Jack and Sadie Diamond Secondary School Entrance Award, and the Y.P. Heung Post-Secondary Entrance Award. Applicants are also automatically considered for SFU's Entrance Bursaries.
