Trent University National Entrance Scholarship Guarantee

Trent University, Canada

Scholarship overview

Trent guarantees an entrance scholarship to every student who enters with a sufficiently high admission average, with no separate application required. Canadian students entering first year at Trent from a Canadian secondary school, and students transferring from at least two full-time semesters at another accredited Canadian post-secondary institution, are automatically assessed for the award once their admission average reaches 80% or higher.

The scholarships are renewable for up to four years of a student's first undergraduate degree, provided an average of at least 80% is maintained in a full course load each year.

International undergraduate applicants are also automatically considered for a separate renewable entrance scholarship based on academic excellence, valued from CAD 2,500 to CAD 5,500 a year and renewable over the course of the degree.

How selection works

Selection is based solely on the student's final admission average; students not selected for a Prestigious Scholarship are automatically considered for this National Entrance Scholarship instead, and only one major Trent entrance scholarship can be held at a time.
