Are you aware that one in five first-year students receives a scholarship at the University of Alberta (U of A)? This impressive statistic highlights the extensive opportunities for incoming students to receive financial support. Whether you’re a high achiever, a community leader, or a well-rounded student, the U of A provides a wide range of scholarships, awards, and financial aid to support your academic journey.
The University of Alberta awards $46 million annually in undergraduate scholarships, catering to various types of students. This substantial financial support ensures deserving students can access quality education without financial barriers. Current and transfer students can also benefit from these opportunities by visiting the Undergraduate Scholarships web page for more information.
The U of A offers both admission-based and application-based scholarships. Admission-based scholarships require no separate application; students are automatically considered based on their high school admission average. On the other hand, application-based scholarships require students to submit a single application, which will then be assessed based on their background, experiences, academics, and interests to match them with suitable scholarships.
