Scholarship

The University of Guelph offers its students a number of awards, scholarships and bursaries. The main scholarships available are:

International Entrance Scholarship: Students offered an International Entrance Scholarship will now automatically be awarded renewable amounts if all criteria are met. 

Eligibility:- Academically outstanding students entering semester one of any degree program in the fall semester who expect to pay the international student tuition/fees. 

Renewal Criteria:

1. Recipients remain registered in full-time studies and achieve a minimum 80.0% average in their previous academic year of full-time study (typically fall/winter)
2. Recipients must continue to pay the International student tuition and fees.

Note:- Entrance scholarships cannot be deferred. Students who defer their offer of admission are reconsidered the following year based on the availability of scholarship for that cohort.

Bursaries:
We are proud of the innovative financial aid programs that are specifically designed to ensure an accessible education for all students. In 2018, University of Guelph students received more than $13 million in bursaries and nearly $1 million in need-based scholarships.

Bursaries are given to students who apply and demonstrate a need for financial assistance. Academic achievement is not a consideration when awarding bursaries, however students must be registered in an academic term to receive a bursary. For more information Click on
