Scholarships

University Entrance Scholarship:

Category: High School
Value: Variable
Application Deadline: Variable

The University Entrance Scholarship program provides guaranteed renewable scholarships to high school students who present a minimum award average of 75%. Scholarships vary in value according to the applicant's award average.

The final award average that determines the scholarship amount is calculated on the five academic subjects including English and the four highest eligible courses for your program from Groups A, B, or C.

Note:  For students admitted using a Group D course, an award calculation using eligible courses from Group A, B, or C will be used to determine eligibility.

To become eligible for University Entrance Scholarships, applicants must be:
 

• Entering their first-year of post-secondary study directly from high school. Concordia will also consider applicants who have:
  • Taken time off between high school and post-secondary studies
  • Completed university-level credits while in high school.
  • Attended a non-accredited program at a post-secondary institution and earned 9 or less transfer credits (e.g. bible school).Applicants who enrolled in a post-secondary institution after the completion of high school are not eligible.
     
• Enrolled in a degree program in Arts, Management or Science.
• Registered in a minimum of 80% of a full-course load (12 credits) in each semester. Recipients whose registration drops below the required 80% minimum will immediately forfeit their scholarship.

How do I apply?

There is no separate application required.  Concordia identifies eligible students through the admission process, choosing from those who submit their admission Application Forms and final (interim) high school transcripts before the appropriate deadline.  Eligible scholarship recipients are sent a preliminary scholarship offer notification letter.

How do I renew my scholarship?

To renew scholarships in subsequent years, students must:
 

• Be registered in a minimum 80% of a full-course load (12 credits) in each subsequent semester.
• Maintain a minimum overall GPA of 3.2 for all scholarships valued below $3,750 or a minimum GPA of 3.5 for scholarships valued $3,750 or greater during the fall and winter semesters for the September intake, or the winter and subsequent fall semester for the January intake. Courses completed in Spring and Summer Sessions are not included in the GPA calculation.

The renewal period shall not exceed the length of the student’s degree program.  Students who lose their scholarship entitlement due to reduced course load or low GPA may have their scholarship reinstated following an academic period of study that satisfies the registration and GPA requirements. However, their eligibility period will not be extended.
