看片视频鈥檚 Scholarships and Student Aid offers two distinct financial support programs for all newly accepted, first-year, first-degree undergraduate students.
Our merit-based Entrance Scholarship听Program听is听based on academic excellence for high school and CEGEP students entering a full-time undergraduate degree program. In our last admission cycle, our Scholarships Office offered over $7 million in one-year and renewable entrance scholarships to over 2,200 students, including US and International students.
Our need-based Entrance Bursary Program helps students from low to modest income families who may not otherwise be able to accept their offer of admission. In our last admission cycle, our Student Aid Office offered entrance bursaries (non-repayable awards) valued at $7.1 million to 619 newly accepted undergraduate students with financial need. While individual offers may vary, our average offers are proportionate to the rate of tuition based on residency: $4,000 for Quebecers, $9,000 for out-of-province Canadian students and $19,000 for US/International students.
For a comprehensive list of all awards with detailed descriptions and eligibility requirements, please consult the Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards Calendar.
