Full Details and Eligibility Requirements
Any Canadian student entering their first year at Trent with a final admission average of 80% or higher may apply for a Trent University Prestigious scholarship. To qualify for a scholarship, students must be enrolled in a full-time, degree seeking program.
The prestigious scholarships are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study provided the student maintains a minimum 80% average in 5.0 Trent University credits during the previous academic year.
A student may only receive one major Trent University entrance scholarship. For example, if you received an offer for a Trent University National Renewable entrance scholarship, and you have been selected for a Prestigious scholarship, the National Renewable scholarship will be replaced by the higher value Prestigious scholarship.
Students not offered a prestigious scholarship are automatically considered for a Trent University National Renewable Entrance Scholarship. All Canadian students new to Trent University with a final admission average of 80% or greater are considered for an entrance scholarship; no application is required. Scholarship values range from $1,000 per year to $3,000.
