Merit-based Entrance Scholarship Program 

Based on academic excellence for high school and CÉGEP students entering a full-time undergraduate degree program. All applicants to ɬÀï·¬ undergraduate degree programs are automatically considered for a one-year entrance scholarship (valued at $3,000) provided they meet the minimum academic requirements. â¶Ä¯Major entrance scholarships (value: $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $12,000 renewable) are determined by selection committees and awarded on the basis of academic achievement and outstanding leadership in school or community activities. For the Major entrance scholarships, a separate application is required soon after submission of the application for admission. This is entirely merit-based. Finalists over $5,000 may be interviewed.
