Valued at $4,500 per annum for a total value of $18,000 over four years. Students must maintain a minimum annual average of 3.5 on 30 credit hours. Open to top-ranking students entering first year. Academic excellence will be the sole basis of selection.

Selection Criteria

Our entrance award programme is highly competitive and open to students with high academic
standing. Canadian and international candidates admitted on the basis of their high school records to the first year of full-time study on the St. Thomas campus are eligible to apply for entrance awards. Normally, applicants with previous university experience are ineligible for entrance scholarships.

In selecting entrance scholarship recipients, academic record is the primary criteria. The selection committee considers admission average, Grade 12 programme (courses and level of difficulty) and rank in graduating class as well as programme and performance in Grade 11. Other factors considered include letters of academic reference and scores on standardized tests including provincial achievement examinations, SATs, etc. In addition to the academic selection criteria, leadership qualities, extracurricular activities and financial need are considered in awarding some scholarships.

Application Procedure

Scholarship candidates should submit a completed scholarship application form with supplementary documents. Scholarship application forms are available from the Admissions Office, in high school guidance centres or (for high school applicants) at Entrance Scholarship Application.

A letter of reference which comments on scholastic, co-curricular and extracurricular accomplishments is required. On the scholarship application form candidates must provide information about rank in graduating class, academic honours, other awards and accomplishments, extracurricular and community activities, and any leadership positions held. To be considered for awards with other special selection criteria, candidates should also address qualifications for these awards on the scholarship application form. For example, financial need is a criterion for some major awards. Candidates for these awards should provide details on their financial status as indicated on the scholarship application form.
