Trent Specific Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, and in some cases extra-curricular or community involvement. When you receive a scholarship, you are receiving free money that can go directly towards your student fees. The best part is that you never have to worry about paying that money back! For further information regarding scholarships for Canadian students, please see the Viewbook .

External Scholarships
External scholarships are scholarships that are awarded to students by an organization or business that exists outside of Trent University, such as the Kiwanis Club, or Wendy's restaurants. It is a good idea to look within your own community and on the internet for scholarships that you might be eligible to apply for. Like Trent specific scholarships, external scholarships may be applied to your student fees, and are free money that you do not need to worry about paying back.

New this year: students must be eligible for aid under OSAP or another province's student financial aid program to be eligible for a Trent University bursary.
