Types of awards available to international students International Student Entrance Awards — for newly admitted international students (academic + extracurricular merit; some consider financial need). These are intended to help incoming students with first-term tuition or to recognize achievements. Term-based scholarships, bursaries & awards — available to continuing students each term. Many are awarded for academic excellence, leadership, athletics, or financial need. You typically apply using the online awards application when it opens each term. Capilano Excellence Scholarship (CapX) — a flagship scholarship program (CapU highlights CapX among its major awards). Individual values vary; the university advertises large scholarship opportunities through donor-funded awards. External awards — CapU maintains a curated list of external scholarships and bursaries (government, associations, philanthropic foundations) that international students may also pursue. Special / targeted awards — some awards target specific programs, Indigenous students, leadership/community involvement, or students who have special circumstances (e.g., youth who aged out of care). Check CapU’s handsheets and award descriptions for details.   Who is eligible (general rules) Many entrance awards require you to be a newly admitted full-time student at CapU (check the award for exceptions). Continuing/term awards require active registration in the term and usually a minimum academic standard (criteria vary by award). Some awards are open to international students specifically; others are open to all students (domestic and international). Always read eligibility on the award page. Financial-need bursaries require documentation about your situation; scholarships are usually merit-based (grades, leadership, special skills).   How large are the awards? Values vary a lot: from modest one-term bursaries to larger entrance awards and donor scholarships. CapU advertises awards such as the Capilano Excellence Scholarship (CapX) and states the university distributed $1.9M+ in 2023/24 — showing meaningful opportunities exist. Exact amounts depend on the specific award.   Practical tips to improve your chances Apply early to entrance awards and pay any required deposits on time. For competitive scholarships, show strong academic results + leadership/community involvement in your application. Use concise, concrete examples in essays or activity lists. One application covers many awards — put effort into completing the online awards form thoroughly (it increases the number of awards you could be matched with). Search external awards as well — CapU’s External Awards handout lists many third-party scholarships for international students.   Timeline & deadlines Entrance awards: apply when you apply for admission; many entrance awards have application windows tied to intake deadlines (check the Future Students / Entrance Awards pages). Term awards: the online portal opens per term — current students should apply each term when the application is live. Check the Current & Returning Students page for exact windows.   What happens if you win Awards are usually credited to your student account (tuition) or paid out as cheques depending on the award terms. Notification is by email — follow instructions to accept or provide further documentation. Read each award’s terms (some are disbursed after official enrolment confirmation).

A. Institutional merit scholarships or fee concessions Merit-based reductions (partial tuition waivers / percentage discounts) for top admittees; sometimes awarded after internal review of marks. (No public list on CIMT site.) B. Donor / named scholarships or small bursaries Small one-off awards (donor funded) for students demonstrating need or excellence — often limited in number and amount. I found references to bursaries in other CIMT-branded pages and in related local college news. C. Government / state scholarships If you are eligible under Indian state schemes (e.g., UP post-matric scholarships, minority scholarships, SC/ST/OBC scholarships), you can apply via the district/state portals. CIMT is located in Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh), and the district scholarship portal lists local award information. International students are usually not eligible for all state schemes, but some central schemes or special bilateral scholarships might apply. Check the Bulandshahr district site and state education departments. D. International student programmes (country/organisation scholarships) If you are an international applicant, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) scholarship scheme is the main central government programme that funds foreign students to study in India (UG/PG/PhD and special cultural programmes). ICCR applications run annually on the ICCR A2A portal — these are large, competitive, and are applied for through Indian embassies/ICCR channels, not through the college website. If CIMT is on an ICCR participating list (you must check with ICCR / the college), ICCR scholarship could cover tuition + stipend depending on the scheme. E. External & private scholarships / loans Home-country scholarships, charitable foundations, corporate sponsorships, or international education loans are often the practical route if the college itself has limited funding. (No CIMT-published international scholarship catalogue was found.)   How I recommend you proceed (practical next steps) Send the template above to the college email and WhatsApp/phone — ask for scholarship policy, required documents, and deadlines. (Use the phone number above for a quick confirmation.) If you are an international student, simultaneously check ICCR scholarship timelines and apply through your local Indian embassy / ICCR portal (A2A). ICCR is independent of college-published awards but can be used to study at many Indian institutions — confirm with CIMT whether they accept ICCR scholars. Look up home-country funding (government scholarships, foundations, employer sponsorships) to create a backup plan. Collect documents now (transcripts, passport, passport photo, statement of purpose, proof of funds) so you can apply quickly if the college or ICCR opens slots. If you don’t hear back within 5–7 business days from CIMT, ask by phone — smaller colleges sometimes don’t update the website but will respond personally.   If CIMT has limited internal funding — alternate options you can reasonably target ICCR scholarships (competitive but substantial; cover tuition, stipend, travel in many cases). Bilateral or embassy scholarships (some countries run programmes to study in India). Home-country government scholarships or private foundations. Education loans (Indian bank loans often require a co-applicant resident in India — check eligibility). Part-time work / internships — note visa rules for international students in India (varies by nationality and visa type).

Conestoga College offers several scholarships and awards specifically designed for international students. These awards generally fall into two categories: entrance scholarships for newly admitted students and in-program awards for students who are already enrolled. Most scholarships are merit-based, although some also consider community involvement or prior academic performance.   Entrance Scholarships Entrance Excellence Scholarship This scholarship is aimed at newly admitted full-time international students who have achieved a high level of academic performance in their previous studies. The award amount is approximately CAD $1,500 per intake. To be eligible, you must have accepted your offer of admission and paid your deposit or required fees by the deadlines outlined in your acceptance letter. Maintaining full-time enrollment in an eligible program is mandatory. English for Academic Studies → Post-Secondary Studies Scholarship If you complete Conestoga’s Level 4 English Language Studies program (“General Arts & Science: English Language Studies”) and continue into a diploma, degree, or graduate certificate program, you may be eligible for this CAD $1,500 scholarship. Full-time enrollment is required, and eligibility is determined by your academic performance in Level 4 of the program. Second Program Scholarship This scholarship is for students who have already graduated from a Conestoga diploma, degree, or graduate certificate program and are applying to a second program within four months of completing their first program. The scholarship amount is CAD $1,500, and eligibility is based on your prior GPA. Note that certificate “C” programs are not eligible for this award. Regional Entrance Scholarships These scholarships are available to new international students starting in Fall, Winter, or Spring terms. Degree program students can receive CAD $3,000, while diploma or graduate program students are typically awarded CAD $1,500. Eligibility is based on your past academic performance, and you must be enrolled full-time in an eligible program.   In-Program Awards Once enrolled, international students can apply for various General Awards and Scholarships offered through Conestoga College’s Awards & Scholarships portal. These awards vary in value and may require students to submit essays, references, or demonstrate leadership or community involvement. Eligibility requirements for in-program awards typically include: Full-time enrollment in a Conestoga College program (part-time students are generally not eligible). Meeting GPA thresholds as outlined for each award. Submitting the online General Awards Application (GAA) during the application period. Maintaining good academic standing in your program. Note: Students in co-op or Career Management (GCM) terms are generally not eligible to apply in that term. Some awards require proof of financial need. International students must typically provide evidence of their study permit funds, but may not be eligible for all need-based awards because they must already demonstrate sufficient funds to study in Canada.   Key Tips for International Students Aim for strong academic performance before admission to maximize your chances for merit-based entrance scholarships. Ensure that you meet full-time enrollment requirements and pay deposits/fees promptly. Keep track of deadlines for all awards and applications. Late submissions are generally not accepted. For in-program awards, actively participate in campus life and community service, as leadership and involvement can strengthen your application. Remember that most awards reduce tuition fees but do not cover full costs. Budget for living expenses, travel, and other costs. If you plan to enroll in a second program at Conestoga, check eligibility for the Second Program Scholarship.   Important Updates International tuition fees are subject to change for each academic year, so check the latest fee schedule for your intended intake. Major entrance scholarships (like the Entrance Excellence Scholarship and Regional Entrance Scholarships) are still active for 2025 and are awarded based on academic performance. English proficiency requirements must be met: for degree programs, IELTS 6.5 (no band less than 6.0) or TOEFL 88 (no skill less than 22); for diploma or certificate programs, IELTS 6.0 (no band less than 5.5) or TOEFL 80 (no skill less than 20).

Here are the main categories of awards you should know about, along with their eligibility and requirements. 1. International Entrance Scholarships These are for new full-time international students entering a post-secondary program at Fanshawe. For example: The “International Entrance Scholarships” page states: “Over CAD $220,000 in regional entrance scholarships available for international students.” Eligibility highlights: Must be a full-time international visa student. Must be entering a post-secondary (i.e., not just English for Academic Purposes) program. For “International Degree Entrance Award” (see below) you must be in a Bachelor’s degree program and registered full-time at level 1 (or first semester) and registered into level 2.

Example: The “Pathway Scholarship Opportunities” page: For students transferring to another program at Fanshawe or to a partner institution abroad. Eligibility example: full-time student in last semester or recent graduate of Fanshawe, GPA ≥ 3.0, registered in second program. “International Learning Opportunity Scholarship”: For students doing an approved academic or experiential learning abroad. (Open to international students too).   Eligibility & Requirements (What you must meet) Here are the general eligibility criteria and what you need to do to apply. Always check the specific scholarship page for your region/program. General Requirements You must be admitted as a full-time international student with a valid study permit (for many of the entrance awards). Example: “Be an international visa student with a valid Study Permit”. Must be registered full-time in the designated program (Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Bachelor’s) starting at level 1 (or first semester) and continuing into next level (particularly for the “Degree Entrance Award”). Maintain a minimum GPA requirement after first level/term. Example: minimum GPA 2.5 for the degree award. Some awards require you to be from a particular region/country (e.g., regional entrance awards) or meet language excellence requirements (e.g., strong English scores). Some scholarships require paying your deposit within a certain timeframe. E.g., for the Academic Entrance Scholarship: apply between Feb 1–June 15, pay deposit within 30 days. For continuing student awards: must be enrolled, in good academic standing, etc. Example: Pathway Scholarship (GPA ≥ 3.0).   Application Process & Timing For entrance scholarships: You normally apply as part of your admission/offer—either automatically considered or you may need to submit a form. Example: The entrance page says “If there is an award available for your country of origin… fill out the form below to connect with your educational advisor.” For other awards: After admission, go to the “Scholarships, Bursaries & Awards” portal and complete the general application. Deadlines: Entrance scholarships: for example, application period Feb 1–June 15 2025 for “Academic Entrance Scholarship” for May/Sept/Jan intake. Spousal Scholarship: window Feb 1–June 15, 2025. For continuing awards, they open near start of each term and remain open ~3 weeks.   What Happens After You Are Selected Recipients will be notified via email. Selection decisions are final (for many entrance awards). Disbursement: Many awards are applied as tuition-payment credits or cheques. Example: Degree Entrance Award disbursed in October/February/June depending on intake. Maintaining eligibility: Some awards require you to maintain academic standing or be registered in next level. Example: Degree Entrance Award needs successful completion of level 1. Many awards are one-time, or only for first year/level. Others are renewable if you maintain criteria (check specific award).   What This Means for You (International Student Perspective) If you are an international student thinking of applying to Fanshawe, you should factor in these scholarship opportunities before you commit, because they reduce cost and improve your ROI. Make sure your program choice is eligible for the entrance scholarships (many are for full-time, first-time post-secondary programs). Meet the academic & English language requirements of your program and of the scholarship. Strong first-term performance matters (for continuing awards). Pay your deposit within required timeframe (many entrance awards require deposit within 30 days). Be aware of your intake cycle (e.g., May, September, January) and apply for scholarship eligibility accordingly. Keep your study permit / visa status valid and full-time enrolment active – most awards require valid study permit, full-time study, and progression to next level. For special awards (spousal, region-based) check your country of origin, region, program eligibility, and any partnership programs. After you start, look out for in-course / continuing student awards – these might require you to apply via the awards portal each year. Use the “Scholarships & Awards” portal on the Fanshawe website to view all opportunities, check filters for “International”, and track deadlines.

Entrance Scholarships for Eligible Degree Students For newly admitted eligible degree students (amounts vary by admissions score). Renewable if you meet renewal GPA rules. Typical award bands: e.g., 95+ → $2,500/yr (renewable up to 4 years), 90–94.9 → $2,000/yr, 85–89.9 → $1,500/yr, 80–84.9 → $1,000/yr. Renewal usually requires a program GPA of 3.7 (80%) or higher.

Scotiabank / Scotiabank Bursaries (International) Large bursary program targeted at international students with demonstrated financial need. Requirements usually include full-time first-year enrollment, a good academic record (example: cumulative GPA 3.0), and evidence of leadership and college/community involvement. Bursaries are need-based (money to help cover costs). Woori Education Scholarship Awarded to international students for academic performance and community involvement. Example criteria: valid Study Permit, enrollment in a full-time diploma or degree, and minimum cumulative GPA ~3.3 (after at least two semesters). International Centre Student Bursary / International Student Scholarship / Leadership Awards (in-program) George Brown runs multiple program-level and donor-funded awards aimed at international students (financial need, leadership, overcoming obstacles, academic merit, or a combination). Many awards are posted on the college awards portal each term and vary in value.   Key eligibility rules (plainly stated) Must be an international student (studying in Canada on a valid Study Permit; not a permanent resident). Most awards require full-time enrolment in an eligible post-secondary program at the time of application (some awards are for first-year students, some for continuing students). GPA thresholds vary by award (common thresholds: 3.0, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7), read each award’s criteria carefully. Some awards are need-based (you must demonstrate financial need and provide supporting documentation). Renewal rules: Entrance scholarships commonly require maintaining a 3.7 GPA and full-time status for continued yearly funding.   Practical tips to improve your chances Apply for everything you’re eligible for. Many awards go unclaimed because students don’t apply. Be precise in essays: show how you contributed to your community, leadership, and how the money will help your studies — concrete examples beat general statements. (Many donor awards look for community impact.) Document financial need clearly for bursaries — submit receipts, sponsor letters, or bank statements the award office requests. Keep transcripts and references ready (a recent unofficial GBC transcript plus one academic or community reference often helps). Watch deadlines — awards open by term; check the awards portal frequently. (There is no single universal deadline — it’s term/award specific.)   What to watch right now (important updates) International tuition fee increase effective September 2025 for the 2025–26 academic year — re-budget accordingly. If you are planning to start or continue studies in Fall 2025, check the updated fee schedule on the College site. The College periodically updates eligible programs for entrance scholarships; degree programs only may be eligible for the entrance scholarship bands — double-check your program’s eligibility page

Key Program: International Entrance Scholarships For the 2025 / 26 academic year (Spring, Fall, Winter intakes) the College offers entrance scholarships for top-performing international applicants. Amounts vary by campus: At the Sarnia campus: Up to CAD $4,000 for eligible programs. At the Ottawa campus: Up to CAD $3,600 for eligible programs. Example program-specific amounts (Sarnia): Programs such as Advanced Project Management – Environmental (PMES) or Cloud Infrastructure & Administration (CIAS) offer the full CAD $4,000. Some programmes offer lesser scholarship amounts (e.g., CAD $1,500) depending on the course.   Eligibility & Requirements Here are the main criteria you must satisfy to qualify for the entrance scholarship. Meeting them does not guarantee you’ll receive the award — the College reserves discretion. You must be an international student applicant (from outside Canada). You must apply to and be accepted into a qualifying program at Lambton College (Sarnia or Ottawa campus) for the eligible intake (Spring, Fall, or Winter). Proof of English language proficiency is required. For example, submitting one of the accepted tests (e.g., IELTS) completed within the last two years is required. You must maintain full-time registration status in your first and second academic terms. If you transfer to another institution or withdraw during the first or second term, you will forfeit the scholarship. Your acceptance letter will indicate whether you have been selected for the scholarship: it will show “YES” in Box 23 if selected; if “NO” then you were not awarded the scholarship. The scholarship is non-transferable, non-cashable, and cannot be used for purposes other than the tuition fee as designated.   Additional Notes & Tips Selection isn’t automatic: Meeting eligibility doesn’t guarantee award. The admissions team has discretion. Check if your chosen program is eligible: Only certain programs at Sarnia or Ottawa campuses are listed for the entrance scholarship for 2025/26. For example, Sarnia: Agribusiness Management (AGBS), Business Analytics (BANS), Supply Chain Management (SCMS) etc. Intake matters: The scholarship terms refer to Spring, Fall, Winter intakes; you’ll need to apply by the deadlines for your intake. Full-time status is critical: If you dip into part-time or withdraw early, you risk losing the entire scholarship. Always check your enrolment status. Budget accordingly: Even with scholarship, there will still be tuition fees, living costs, books, supplies, etc. The scholarship reduces cost but doesn’t cover everything. Confirm details in your Offer Letter: If selected, your official Offer of Acceptance will indicate the scholarship (Box 23) and amount or conditions. English test scores & other admission requirements: Because the scholarship is only for students admitted into eligible programs, make sure your academic records and language test meet Lambton’s admission requirement. (For example, Lambton requires IELTS or equivalent. Stay updated: Scholarship values, program eligibility and intakes can change year to year. Always check Lambton College’s official “Scholarships” page for the current year.

Eligibility & selection: Awarded based on cumulative GPA and standardized test scores (as shown on your submitted transcripts/test results).

If you need the exact CAD amount for a specific intake/year, I can fetch the current dollar value from MSVU’s financial-aid office or program letters. 2) Entrance Scholarships & Endowed Awards (undergraduate) What they are: MSVU maintains many entrance and endowed scholarships (named funds) that are awarded for outstanding academic achievement; some are automatically assessed at registration/admission, others require application documentation per the award terms.

International students: If you are a newly admitted international student coming directly from high school or an eligible transfer, you are automatically considered for many entrance scholarships based on your admission documents (transcripts / grades). 3) In-course scholarships & bursaries (current students) What they are: Once enrolled, international students can apply for in-course scholarships (merit-based, based on most recent academic work) and bursaries (needs-based). These are awarded annually and require either automatic consideration or an application (check the award description). Important: Government student loans (Canadian federal/provincial loans) are generally not available to international students — bursaries from MSVU are the main need-based option. 4) International Graduate Student Scholarship (master’s level) What it is: A named scholarship intended to support full-time international graduate students at the master’s level. It is awarded annually; students entering any semester are considered but an application is required. Other grad funding: MSVU also lists limited funding for thesis research and conference attendance and graduate bursaries for students with demonstrated financial need.   Eligibility rules & common conditions (practical checklist) Apply for admission early and submit full transcripts and English-language test scores — many entrance awards are based on your admission application. Automatic vs. applied awards: Entrance merit scholarships are usually automatic (assessed at acceptance). Many in-course scholarships and bursaries require an application once enrolled — read the award page for each item. Maintain the GPA condition — the International Student Merit Scholarship requires a 3.2 cumulative GPA to maintain eligibility. If you fall below that, you may lose the renewal. Full-time status — many scholarships and bursaries require you to be enrolled full-time; check the award rules. Government funding: Canadian federal or provincial student loans are not available to most international students — plan for self-funding, scholarships, and MSVU bursaries if needed.   How scholarships are paid / applied Entrance awards are usually credited to tuition or applied to the student account (not paid as cash). In-course awards and bursaries are administered per MSVU’s Financial Aid procedures — check the award terms for payment method and timing. (If you want, I can collect specifics on payment timing for each named award.)   Notes about third-party lists and different “Mount” schools Some third-party pages or search results conflate Mount Saint Vincent University (Halifax, Nova Scotia) with other institutions whose names start with “Mount” (e.g., College of Mount Saint Vincent in New York). For official scholarship rules and dollar amounts always rely on msvu.ca pages (links above).

1. What funding is available for international students NU offers several types of financial support for international students (though it is important to note that the range is more limited compared to domestic students). Key categories include: Entrance (merit) scholarships for undergraduate direct-entry students (high school to first year) — international students are eligible. Bursaries & awards for upper-year students (undergraduate) including international students who demonstrate financial need. Graduate-level funding for master’s/PhD students (including international students in some cases), though the university notes that “limited funding opportunities” are available for international grad students. Work-study opportunities (on-campus employment) for international students in upper years, to help supplement finances (not a scholarship, but a helpful support).   2. Key scholarship / award programs & what you can aim for Here are the prominent scholarship types with details that apply to international students. 2.1 Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships (Undergraduate) For international students entering first year of an undergraduate degree, full-time, either in the Fall (Sept) or Winter (Jan) intake. No separate application required for many of these — eligibility is automatic if admission is by certain date and you meet academic criteria. Important eligibility details: Students must enrol full-time and for renewal must take a minimum number of credits (24 credits annually) to retain eligibility. Free tuition award is calculated using the domestic tuition rate, even though you're an international student. (So you still benefit significantly.) Students beginning in January (Winter intake) are eligible, but the award payment is deferred until the following September. 2.2 International Student Bursary (Upper-Year Undergraduate) For international students already in their second year or higher of an undergraduate degree at NU. Value: Variable (depends on donor/award) Requirement: Full-time enrolment; must demonstrate financial need. Application via the Web Bursary application (posted in October) by deadline (e.g., November 1). 2.3 Graduate Scholarships & Funding The university notes international graduate students may have access to internal scholarships or assistantships (especially thesis-based) but funding is limited. Example: The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) – value up to CAD $15,000. Eligibility includes international students on a study permit. 2.4 Other Awards, Bursaries & Donor-Funds There is a large list of smaller awards and bursaries (for both domestic and international students) with varying criteria (leadership, volunteerism, minority status, program of study, etc.). For example: “Aamil Mohammed Ferhath Award” for an international student in business degree with min 75% average and volunteer work.   3. Eligibility & requirements — what you need to qualify Here are key requirements & conditions you’ll want to check carefully: Undergraduate entrance scholarships Must apply for admission by the entrance scholarship deadline (for many scholarships, around April 1 for first-year international students). Final grades must meet or exceed the thresholds (80 %+, 85 %+, 90 %+, or 95%+ depending on award level) based on best six final grade courses (4U/4M or equivalent) or IB score. Full-time enrolment: Students must register for at least 24 credits annually to maintain renewal eligibility. Renewal: Awards are renewable for up to 4 years (first four years of undergraduate study). Students in “professional years” (e.g., later years of some education or professional programs) may not be eligible for renewal. For international students, the “free tuition” award is calculated using domestic tuition rate (so it's a partial measure of cost-saving, since international tuition is higher).   Upper-year bursaries/awards For second year or higher: must be full-time, demonstrate financial need, and apply via bursary application window (October – November). Application deadlines must be strictly followed.   Graduate funding Check program-specific criteria. For OGS: international students on study permits are eligible. Academic average requirements apply (roughly A- or equivalent). Funding pool is more limited; proof of self-support (tuition + living expenses) is still required for visa purposes.   4. Application steps & timeline for international students Here’s how to navigate the process in a student-friendly step-by-step way: Step 1: Submit your application for admission Choose your program at NU (undergraduate or graduate). International applicants must meet admission requirements (including English proficiency if needed). For entrance scholarships: Apply by April 1 (or earlier) for first-year intake (for many awards) so you are considered.   Step 2: Admission offer and conditional scholarship offer For many of the entrance scholarships, NU will include a conditional scholarship offer along with your admission offer if you meet (or are likely to meet) the criteria. You need to accept your offer of admission and register full-time.   Step 3: Confirm final grades and enrolment Once your final grades are available, NU will assess eligibility (especially for renewals). For example, the scholarship average is based on best six final high-school grade courses. After starting at NU, you must enrol full-time and meet credit minimums (24 credits annually) to maintain the award.   Step 4: For bursaries & upper-year awards Keep an eye on the bursary/award application window (October 1 → November 1 is common). Submit the standard Web Bursary application, including required supporting documents (transcripts, proof of need, etc). Maintain full-time status and meet any GPA/credit requirements specified.   Step 5: For graduate funding If you’re a master’s or PhD applicant: Look at program-specific funding, internal scholarships, assistantships. Contact the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) for details. Prepare transcripts, research proposals (if applicable), and have your English proficiency and other credential evaluation in place.   5. Things to watch & key conditions (for international students) Tuition costs for international students are higher than domestic; even with scholarships the net cost may still be significant. (For example: international graduate tuition for 2025-26 is listed at CAD $28,000 + fees.) Some awards apply the domestic tuition rate for calculation of “free tuition” for entrance scholarships — this means you save significantly, but there may still be a difference to international tuition. Full-time enrolment and credit minimums are strict (often 24 credits annually) to keep awards valid Some programs (professional years, education programs, etc) may be excluded from renewal eligibility. For example: Concurrent BEd years 5 & 6 and Consecutive BEd program excluded from renewal. International students must still demonstrate sufficient funds for tuition + living expenses for visa purposes, even if you get a scholarship. NU emphasises this. Funding opportunities for international students at graduate level are explicitly described as “limited” — so if you are planning grad studies ask early and explore assistantships. Deadlines are critical. Entrance applications may need to be completed as early as April 1 for first-year, and bursary applications often open in October.   6. Practical example: What you could realistically expect If you're an international student applying for first year, with outstanding high school results (95%+), you could receive “free tuition (domestic rate)” for four years (under the Guaranteed Entrance Scholarship). This is a major saving. If your grades are in the 90-94% range you might expect something like CAD $2,500 per year for up to four years (total ~$10,000). If your grades are in the 80-84% range maybe CAD $1,000 per year (total ~$4,000) under same scheme. As an upper-year student, you could apply for the International Student Bursary (variable amount), if you demonstrate need. As a graduate international student, you should anticipate limited scholarship funding; you should budget for costs (tuition + living) and explore other funding (assistantship, external scholarships) concurrently.

Entrance Scholarship of up to $5,000 (All International Students) Amount is tied to program length: 1-year = $2,000; 2-year = $3,000; 3-year = $4,000; 4-year = $5,000 (structure: part paid when you confirm, remainder in later years for multi-year programs). This is aimed at students who apply and confirm a Seneca program for the listed intakes (e.g., Sept 2025, Jan/May 2026). ELI (English Language Institute) tuition credits You can receive credits for ELI levels ($500 per level up to $2,000) and there are combined offers if you apply/confirm both ELI and a full-time program (Seneca promotes up to $7,000 in combined credits). Check eligibility rules and how credits apply to tuition. Seneca Renewable Entrance Scholarship of Merit (and other entrance awards) Some entrance awards are automatic/considered when you apply to a full-time diploma/degree program. These often consider prior academic record. Confirm whether you are automatically considered or must opt in. Awards, scholarships & bursaries for current students Once you’re enrolled, there’s a broad list of awards (program-specific, donor-funded, leadership or community service awards, bursaries for financial need). Values vary; you usually apply through Seneca’s Financial Aid / Student Hub or meet automatic eligibility rules. Special incentives / limited promotions Seneca sometimes runs additional limited-time incentives (e.g., tuition incentives, PAL offers). Always check Seneca International news/accepted-students pages for the most recent promotions.   Who is eligible (high level) New international students who apply and confirm a qualifying full-time program can typically receive the entrance scholarship; amounts depend on program length. Current Seneca students (domestic & international) are eligible for many internal awards and bursaries — you must be enrolled and meet the award’s requirements (academic standing, program, financial need, extracurricular contribution, etc.).   Practical tips to improve your chance of receiving awards Confirm early: For entrance scholarships, confirm your program as early as possible and meet all acceptance steps. Strong transcripts: Many merit awards rely on your academic record—submit strong, official transcripts and translated documents if needed. Apply for bursaries if needed: If finances are tight, apply for bursaries (they’re need-based and often undersubscribed compared to merit awards). Document leadership & community work: Many donor awards look for leadership, volunteerism, or industry experience—document and highlight those in your application. Monitor Seneca communications: Follow Seneca International on social and check the Accepted Students page and Student Hub often for one-off promotions and updated policies.

What scholarships / awards UCW offers (overview) Entrance awards & scholarships (for new students — undergraduate & graduate). These are merit-based and sometimes need an application by the entrance award deadline. Continuing student awards / bursaries — for students already enrolled who meet academic or financial-need criteria. Targeted grants — e.g., special initiatives (UCW announced specific MBA scholarships such as the Lytton Scholarship for particular communities). These can be time-limited and may carry unique eligibility rules. In-Canada / residency-based grants — in some cases, international students already residing in Canada (or who completed prior Canadian study) may qualify for awards that reduce fees toward domestic levels (check eligibility closely).   Typical eligibility requirements Academic merit: strong prior grades or test scores for the level you’re applying to. English proficiency: if required for your program (IELTS/TOEFL or accepted alternatives), some awards require that admission conditions are fully satisfied. Residency status / local ties: certain grants are limited to students already in Canada or to particular communities (example: the In Canada Education Advancement grant). Specific demographic or community criteria: special-purpose scholarships (e.g., community recovery efforts) may target residents of a region (example: Lytton Scholarship). Timing: you must normally apply for entrance awards before the published deadline (typically at least a month before term start).   Deadlines & timeline UCW publishes term-specific international application deadlines and award deadlines on its Dates & Deadlines page — these change by term (Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer) and year. Always confirm the exact date for your intended intake.   Award amounts — what to expect UCW generally provides partial awards — fixed dollar amounts or percentage reductions for tuition/first term. Amounts vary by award and program. UCW historically has not positioned itself as offering many full-ride awards — major funding is usually partial. Always confirm the amount on the official award listing.   Recent or notable scholarship news (examples) Lytton Scholarship (announced Mar 24, 2025): UCW launched two full MBA scholarships for Lytton and Fraser Canyon residents/eligible persons connected to recovery efforts — an example of targeted, full-value awards for specific communities. Check eligibility if you’re from those communities.   Other financial-help options External scholarships: national or home-country scholarships, private foundations, employer sponsorships — UCW encourages exploring external funding too. PayMyTuition — UCW partners with PayMyTuition to facilitate international payments; not an award but useful for convenient payments. Work while studying — UCW provides guidance on Canadian work rules for international students (off-campus work eligibility, post-graduation work options) which can help with finances.   Practical tips to improve your chances Apply early — award pools can be limited; some awards are first-come or deadline-driven. Prepare a strong application packet — clear transcripts, a concise personal statement highlighting achievements, leadership, and need (if applicable). Research program-specific awards — some programs (MBA, BCom) may have program-level awards or scholarships. Check continuing-student awards — if you already study at UCW, ask the student services or financial aid office about continuing awards and deadlines. Ask your international recruitment advisor or UCW contacts if anything is unclear — they often provide tailored guidance for applicants from specific countries/partners.

What scholarships VANAS offers (types & recent examples) Merit scholarships — awarded for artistic/academic merit (portfolio, transcripts, resume). These are common for diploma programs. Need-based scholarships — available in certain situations to offset tuition for students who meet financial criteria and fit program goals. Regional / promotional scholarships — time-limited campaigns targeted at specific regions. Example: VANAS announced over 80 scholarships for Latin American students (50% tuition each) across multiple live-online diplomas in 2025 (2D, 3D, Concept Art, Effects, etc.). The event/webinar and press coverage list the exact number of scholarships per program. Intake/round discounts — the website advertises intake rounds where a limited number of scholarships/discounts (e.g., “Round 1 of 3 — scholarships of 20% available”) are offered for specific start dates. These appear per intake and per program.   Which programs are commonly covered VANAS lists scholarships across many of their live online diploma programs (examples from the LATAM campaign and site): 2D Animation, 3D Animation, 3D Modeling, Animated Short Film, Concept Art, Digital Matte Painting, Effects Animation, Esports Development, and other digital arts diplomas. Program-specific scholarship numbers were published in the LATAM event page.   Eligibility — what you’ll usually need VANAS’s published eligibility and application checklist (common requirements) include: Application form for the program (complete with application fee where applicable). Academic transcripts / credentials (high school or post-secondary, depending on program). Portfolio — typically 5 artwork pieces or a demo reel of your best work (this is the single most important item for creative merit scholarships). Resume / CV showing relevant education, projects, or work experience. Some scholarships require completion of a formal application or separate scholarship form and may mention a non-refundable fee (check the current scholarship application instructions).   How many and how large are the scholarships? Sizes vary: typical examples are 20% discounts during intake rounds, or special campaign awards of 50% tuition (as seen in the 2025 LATAM campaign). Exact number of awards per program was published for that campaign (e.g., 5 scholarships for 2D Animation, 6 for 3D Animation, etc.). These large campaigns are limited in count and time-sensitive.   Application process (step-by-step for scholarship consideration) Choose program & intake on VANAS site and confirm scholarship rounds for that intake. (Scholarships are often tied to specific intake rounds.) Prepare materials: application form, transcripts, resume, and portfolio/demo reel (5 strong pieces). Follow program-specific portfolio instructions (file formats, length of reel, labeling). Submit application and any scholarship application forms by the scholarship deadline (deadlines are intake-based — check the program page/event). Wait for selection — scholarship awards are communicated by VANAS admissions; awards are competitive and limited. Accept offer & arrange payment/visa (if studying onsite). For online programs you typically won’t need a student visa.   Deadlines & timing — what to watch for Scholarship availability is intake-based and time-limited. VANAS runs several rounds per intake; the site often shows “Round 1 of 3” with specific deadlines. Always check the live program page for the intake you want (dates change). Special campaigns (e.g., the 2025 LATAM 50% scholarships) had specific application windows and webinar events — follow the events page or subscribe to VANAS updates to avoid missing them.   International student considerations (visa, online option) Online programs: VANAS offers live online diplomas — these give you the same curriculum without needing a study visa (and scholarship campaigns have been targeted at online students in certain regions). This is especially useful for international students who want lower cost and no visa. Onsite study & visas: If you plan to study in Canada with an on-campus intake, you must follow VAC/IRCC rules for student visas (VANAS has an international student support page with guidance). Confirm whether a scholarship affects your study permit documents or proof of funds.   Financial aid & payment options VANAS mentions payment plans (pay in full, per term, or monthly installments) and other financial aid mechanisms in their catalog. Scholarships can be combined with payment plans but read the award terms carefully.   What I found that’s new / noteworthy (May–Oct 2025) May 2025: VANAS ran a major LATAM scholarship campaign offering many 50% scholarships across live online programs (over 80 prizes distributed among programs like 2D, 3D, Concept Art, etc.). This is an example of their occasional large regional campaigns — good to watch for if you belong to a targeted region.
