International entrance scholarships

Global Leadership Award (application-based)

If you are an international secondary-school student entering an undergraduate program at the university on a study permit and are currently studying outside of Canada, you can apply for the university's Global Leadership Award (GLA).

The GLA is one of our most prestigious entrance awards. Valued at $120,000 CAD ($30,000 a year for four years), the GLA recognizes international secondary school applicants with strong academic and leadership abilities. Canadian citizens and permanent residents are not eligible for the GLA.

International Merit Awards

If you are an international secondary school student entering an undergraduate program at the university on a study permit, you may be eligible to receive one of the university's International Merit Awards.

International Merit Awards are valued at $20,000 CAD over four years ($5,000 CAD x four years) and will be awarded to applicants with a grade point average of 80 per cent or greater as calculated at the time of admission.  Successful applicants will be notified with an offer of scholarship from the university.

Canadian citizens and permanent residents are not eligible for the International Merit Awards.

This award may not be held in conjunction with other scholarships and/or awards, such as the Global Leadership Award, Awards of Recognition, Major Scholarships or In-Course Scholarships.
