All professional entrance and transfer scholarships are application-based.

You must apply to an undergraduate degree program before you can apply for any transfer scholarships. You do not need to have received an offer of admission before applying.

Eligibility

Depending on the scholarship or award, selection will be based on academic standing and/or demonstrated exceptional leadership. Secondary criteria may include but are not limited to: financial need, residency, extracurricular activities and/or previous award funding. Funding levels vary annually and selection is competitive. Meeting base eligibility requirements does not guarantee a scholarship offer.

Candidates must meet the following base academic criteria for transfer scholarships:

• Present an admission average that meets or exceeds those required for the specific scholarship.

• Be transferring from another post-secondary institution into a full-time undergraduate program OR be entering full-time studies in the first year of a professional degree (Law, Medicine, Dentistry or Pharmacy) OR after degree program (e.g., Nursing or Education).

• Scholarship offers are conditional on the accuracy of your self-recorded grades. If there is a discrepancy between your self-recorded grades and your final official transcript, your scholarship offer could be revoked.
