The university offers scholarships and financial aid to undergraduate students currently enrolled in full-time degree programs at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥. Scholarships and Student Aid is your point of contact for many but not all funding programs. The information below directs you accordingly.
In-course scholarships
In-course Scholarships fall under the responsibility of individual faculties. For this reason, students should contact the Student Affairs Office in their faculty with questions related to the criteria and decisions, as well as other funding opportunities, such as stipends, research assistantships, work-for-pay situations, etc.
Renewable entrance scholarships received at the time of admission fall within our jurisdiction so please contact us with any related questions.
In-course financial aid
Our office fully administers the University’s In-course Financial Aid Program. We have Financial Aid Counselors who assess student need, decide on suitable aid amounts (non-repayable and payable), and guide students towards other forms of support, such as government aid and on-campus work programs. We can also answer your queries on the renewal of entrance bursaries received at the time of admission.
Every year students benefit significantly from these programs. Most recently, $8 million of in-course scholarships & awards (based on merit) went to undergraduate students. Approximately $6.8 million of in-course bursaries (non-repayable need-based awards) was given to 1,245 undergraduate students with financial need. Of these bursaries, Quebec/Canadian students received 795 awards averaging $3,775 each and US/International students received 450 awards averaging $8,450 each.
For a comprehensive list of all awards with detailed descriptions and eligibility requirements, please consult the Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards Calendar.
