Scholarships & Bursaries

Academic Entrance Scholarship

The Academic Entrance Scholarship is available to students entering their first year of studies at Providence University College. All new students are automatically assessed for eligibility, with students being awarded the scholarship based on their graded average of qualifying courses at the grade 11 and grade 12 level. A student’s awarded amount is calculated using the student’s 5 highest grades of eligible grade 11 courses, or the student’s 5 highest grades of eligible grade 12 courses (whichever grade average is higher). Award amounts are divided evenly between the student’s first two semesters and may be deferred up to one calendar year, if desired.
