TWU Academic Scholarships (President's, Provost's, Dean's)

Trinity Western University, Canada

Scholarship overview

Trinity Western University (TWU) awards three tiers of entrance and in-course academic scholarship — the President's Scholarship, the Provost's Scholarship and the Dean's Scholarship — to new, transfer and continuing undergraduate students on the strength of their academic record. The scholarships are renewable each year a student keeps the required grade point average (GPA) and are TWU's main merit-based financial aid, alongside need-based grants and endowment awards.

Award value depends on the tier and the student's course load for the year: a full 100% course load (24–30 credits) earns the standard amount, while an 80% load earns less and a 120% load (such as the Professional Year of the Education program, around 37 credits) earns more. Awards are applied directly to the student's account rather than paid out as cash.

No separate scholarship application is needed for incoming and transfer students; the award is assessed automatically from the grades submitted with the admission application and confirmed in the official offer of admission. Continuing TWU students must apply or renew the scholarship annually.

Incoming and transfer students are automatically considered on admission, with no separate deadline. Returning students must complete their scholarship renewal/application before the add/drop deadline of the fall semester, through the Financial Aid & Awards application that opens January 15.

  1. Incoming/transfer students: submit the regular TWU admission application; the admission average or GPA used in the admission decision is automatically used to assess scholarship eligibility, and the result is confirmed in the official acceptance letter.
  2. Current students: log in to the Financial Aid & Awards portal (opens January 15 each year) and complete the annual scholarship renewal before the fall add/drop deadline.

Documents you will need

No separate scholarship application form is required; the award is assessed from the official transcript/grades already submitted for admission (or, for returning students, from the TWU transcript).

How selection works

Selection is automatic and grade-based rather than competitive: every applicant whose admission average, GPA or IB score falls in a given band receives the corresponding scholarship tier, with no separate committee review or essay/interview component described.
