Prestigious Scholarships

Trent's Prestigious Scholarships

You could potentially receive up to $20,000 as a recipient of one of Trent's prestigious scholarships. If you're a Canadian student entering your first year at Trent with an average of 80% or higher, we encourage you to apply. 

Champlain Scholarship - 2 available: Each year, two scholarships are awarded to entering students of exceptionally high academic achievement and promise. Value: $5,000 per year; maximum potential $20,000

Board of Governor’s Leadership Scholarship: Each year, one scholarship is awarded to an entering student who has shown outstanding leadership and involvement in his/her community, as well as academic achievement. Value: $4,500 per year; maximum potential $18,000

Special Admission Scholarship - 10 available: Each year, several scholarships are awarded to entering students of outstanding academic and extra-curricular achievement. Value: $3,750 per year; maximum potential $15,000

Canada Wide Science Fair Scholarship: Each year, one scholarship is awarded to an entering student of outstanding academic and extra-curricular achievement who has been awarded a medal or an honourable mention for a senior-level project at a Canada-Wide Science Fair within the past two calendar years. Value: $3,750 per year; maximum potential $15,000


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.   


How to Apply

Students must apply for Prestigious Scholarships. One application qualifies you for all prestigious scholarships.

The application form can be found on your myTrent applicant portal under the My Account tab.

Application Deadline: The deadline to apply is April 1.

Students with a final entrance average of 80% or higher who did not apply or are not eligible for a Prestigious Scholarship will automatically be considered for a Trent University National Renewable Entrance Scholarship.
