Investing in You: Trent University National Renewable Entrance Scholarships for Canadian Students
If you're a top scholar with an average of 80% or higher you automatically receive an entrance scholarship to Trent - no application required!
Trent’s guaranteed (and renewable!) national entrance scholarships are available for Canadian students entering an undergraduate program directly from a Canadian secondary school. Canadian students transferring to Trent from another postsecondary institution are also eligible for entrance scholarships.
Our 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 for up to four years.
Are you an international student? Be sure to explore Trent's generous international scholarships and awards.
