National Entrance Scholarship
If you’re a top scholar with an average of 80% or higher (studying at our Peterborough or Durham GTA campuses) you are automatically eligible to receive an entrance scholarship at Trent – no application required.
And it’s not just a one-time thing. Trent’s national entrance scholarships are RENEWABLE each year, when you maintain an 80% average in a full course load. This can really pay off – with a total scholarship potential of $12,000.
