Awards and Bursaries Universities in Québec
Entrance scholarships:
Visit your future university’s website. See list of universities below for specific links. Universities may have entrance scholarships for students entering university for the first time. Some universities will only consider fall applicants for entrance scholarships. This information should be online, but it is possible to contact them directly if you have specific questions.
Some scholarships are automatically awarded based on your grades. Even if you are automatically considered, some universities may require that you apply by a specific deadline.
They may also offer scholarships or bursaries that have specific application forms to complete. Bursaries usually consider financial need. If you are unsure about the grade requirements (i.e. good academic standing), ask. Not all scholarships are for students with extremely high grades. When other factors are considered, such as financial need, leadership, or community involvement, they may consider a wider range of grades or define academic success differently.
