APPLY NOW! Trent University Entrance Scholarship 2025
Trent University has been one of the top universities in Ontario for Scholarships and Bursaries for more than 20 years.
Trent’s full and diverse scholarship program is designed to foster and reward academic excellence among our students. Scholarships are merit-based financial awards, typically awarded on the basis of academic excellence or a combination of academic achievement, leadership and community involvement.
Trent International Renewable Entrance Scholarships
All international undergraduate students applying to Trent are automatically considered for Trent University Entrance Scholarships that are awarded based on academic excellence. These range in value from $1,500 to $3,000 annually and are renewable over the course of your undergraduate degree.
Students are eligible to renew their Entrance Scholarship at the same value received in their first year if they meet the conditions below.
- Maintain a preceding academic year average of 80% or higher.
- Complete at least 5 credits in the preceding academic year (Fall, Winter & Summer), or have a Student Accessibility Services (SAS)-approved reduced courseload accommodation.
- Register for courses as a full-time student for the upcoming academic year.
- Be an international student paying international fees.
Upgrade your international entrance scholarship
Students are eligible to upgrade the renewable portion of their Entrance Scholarship if they achieve a higher term average at Trent which places them in a higher tier. For example, if a student’s high school grade is 80%, this makes them eligible for a $1,500 entrance scholarship. However, if after their first year at Trent their average increases to 86%, the student would then become eligible for a $2,000 scholarship (upgraded tier) for their second year of undergraduate studies at Trent.
Students who are eligible for an upgrade will automatically receive the new Entrance Scholarship amount in their myTrent account statement by early October each academic year after the course drop deadline has passed.
How and when are entrance scholarship made?
Entrance Scholarship averages are awarded based on the Canadian equivalent of your average used for admission consideration. Students will receive the entrance scholarship amount directly in their myTrent account statement.
*Please note that all the above scholarship values, eligibility requirements, and criteria are subject to change without notice. Entrance Scholarships can be paired with Trent International’s Prestigious Renewable Scholarships. All eligible students are strongly encouraged to apply for these renewable awards to receive a larger total scholarship package.
