Scholarships

Financial aid helps students and their families by covering education expenses, such as tuition and fees, books and supplies.

What are scholarships?

It’s a type of financial aid in out university.
The amount of financial aid one can receive is dependent
on a few factors:

  • Financial situation
  • Cost of tuition
  • Your academic performance
  • Your year in school and your enrolment status.

Types of Scholarships

There are two main types of scholarships that students may be eligible for: merit-based scholarships or needs-based scholarships.

Both college grants and scholarships are forms of financial aid that students are not required to pay back. Both may require that a student maintain a certain GPA to receive the money each year (if the aid is renewable), and may require an annual application.

icon

Merit-based scholarships

Award students for outstanding credentials. They award high-achieving students who excel in academics, arts and athletics. They do not take into account a student’s financial situation.

icon

Needs-based scholarships 

Award students who have a financial need. Students qualify for needs-based scholarships based on their family’s income and financial constraints.
