University of King's College, Canada
King's offers a set of named entrance scholarships and awards to students entering the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Journalism and Media (Honours) or Bachelor of Music programs with a September start. Most are major awards combining a high-school average threshold (typically 80-85%+) with criteria such as financial need, leadership, community involvement or membership of a specific community, and most are selected through the same entrance-award application built into the admission application.
Named awards include the Sobey Scholarship (total value $50,000, preference to Foundation Year Program entrants, 2 available), the Carrie and Ralph Wright Memorial Scholarship ($39,000, Foundation Year Program, 1 available), the Debra Deane Little and Robert Little Academic Scholarships for Varsity Athletes ($20,000 total/$5,000 a year, 14 available, by Director of Athletics recommendation), the Dr. Carrie Best Scholarship for Black Canadian and Indigenous students ($20,000, 1 available), the Gordon Earle Scholarship for African Nova Scotian students ($24,000, 1 available), the Harrison McCain Scholarship for demonstrated financial need ($16,000 total, 2 available), the Colin Starnes Award for Nova Scotia students with financial need ($10,000, Foundation Year Program, 1 available), the Sylvia D. Hamilton Award for African Canadian students, preference to journalism entrants ($8,080 total/$2,020 a year, 5 available), the Weston Award for Canadian citizens ($20,000 total/$5,000 a year, 1 available), the King's Theatrical Society (KTS) Award ($1,000, 5 available), the Humanities for Young People (HYP) Entrance Award ($1,500, for past HYP summer-program participants), The PREP Academy Scholarship for African Nova Scotian students enrolled in The PREP Academy ($1,500, high-school grades 85%+), the IB Diploma Award ($1,000, for students completing the IB Diploma), and Choral and Organ Awards ($400-$4,000, by audition, deadline July 31). Most renewable awards require the student to remain in good academic/scholarship standing.
Music-specific entrance scholarships for King's students entering a music degree (Campbell Incentive Award Scholarships, Dr. Don Wright Scholarship of Excellence, Evanov Radio Group Scholarships, and the F. Hume Wells and Lawrence & Mildred Ridgeway Scholarships) are administered by Dalhousie's Fountain School of Performing Arts and awarded by faculty based on March auditions, with no separate application.
The admission application and major entrance-award application are due by March 1, 11:59 PM AST for September entry. Choral and Organ Awards have a separate deadline of July 31, 11:59 PM ADT. Major entrance-award consideration also requires official mid-year transcripts (or NS/ON grade uploads) by March 1.
Students who meet an award's stated criteria and submit the required scholarship application and documents by the deadline are considered; several awards also require an essay on an assigned topic. The Debra Deane Little and Robert Little Scholarships are awarded by recommendation of the Director of Athletics rather than a student application. Choral and Organ Awards are judged on submitted recordings, with top candidates invited to audition.
