International Excellence Scholarships

Other eligibility requirements

Scholarships are limited to students studying in open enrolment undergraduate programs only.

These scholarships are renewable in subsequent years for a maximum of three years or upon graduation whichever comes first, provided that the average remains above 80% (LU GPA = 7.5) and all of the other disbursement and renewal regulations are met.  To continue the scholarship at the same value, the average in subsequent years must remain above 80% (7.5 GPA) or 90% (9.5 GPA). If the average decreases in subsequent years, the award will be recalculated on the basis of the above scholarship grid as long as an 80% (GPA = 7.5) average is maintained. If you fail to meet all disbursement and renewal regulations at any point, you will no longer be eligible. For scholarship purposes, the average calculation is not rounded up.

• International Excellence Scholarship amounts are official upon final marks. Mid-term grades will be used to inform the student where they fall in the above grid.
• At any point in time, if the student receives an International Excellence Scholarship but does not achieve an average of 80% (GPA = 7.5) or higher in any following year, they will no longer be eligible for it.
• If the student enters with an average above 80% and obtains an average over 90% (GPA = 9.5) in subsequent years, they are only eligible for renewal of their $10,000 International Excellence Scholarship.
• Scholarship decisions are made in June of each year. For students who take spring/summer session courses, these credits will be used for the renewal eligibility for the following academic year.
• To renew the scholarship, students must have studied full-time in the previous academic year (30 credits - of which 24 credits must have been taken in the Fall/Winter term) – (the academic year is defined as May to April of each year for scholarship purposes).
