York International Entrance Scholarships (Scholarship of Distinction, Merit Award, Entrance Award, Transfer Award)

York University, Canada

Scholarship overview

York University automatically awards entrance scholarships to international undergraduate applicants based on their final admission average, with no separate application required. For Fall 2026 and Winter 2027 admission, four tiers apply.

These awards can be combined with York's faculty-based awards but not with the President's International Scholarship of Excellence or York's Prestigious Scholarships; an applicant who qualifies for more than one receives the higher-value award.
