About the University of Guelph International Scholarships (2026)

## About the award The University of Guelph, a renowned institution in Canada, provides a comprehensive scholarship and bursary program designed to attract and support a diverse international student body. These awards acknowledge academic excellence, leadership qualities, extracurricular involvement, and financial need, playing a crucial role in making higher education accessible to students from around the globe. The university is committed to fostering an international community and offers various opportunities for both incoming and currently enrolled international students across undergraduate and graduate levels. ## What's covered The University of Guelph offers several types of financial support for international students. For undergraduate international students entering their first year, scholarships like the President’s International Entrance Scholarship range from $2,000 to $7,500 for the first year, based on admission average. The University International Scholarship and Dean's International Scholarship offer annual renewal amounts of $5,000 and $2,500 respectively for up to four years, provided renewal criteria (minimum 80% average) are met. Additionally, a $10,000 International Transfer Scholarship is available for international transfer students. International bursaries are also available for those experiencing unforeseen financial challenges, typically after completing at least one year of study. ## Who can apply Eligibility for these scholarships and bursaries varies based on student status (undergraduate, graduate, entering, in-course) and the specific award. For international undergraduate entrance scholarships, applicants must be entering post-secondary studies for the first time and registering in a degree program in the fall semester, paying international tuition fees. Academic merit, as determined by the University of Guelph's Admission Services, is a primary factor. For in-course scholarships and all bursaries, international students must typically be registered full-time. Bursaries are need-based and require a completed Financial Need Assessment Form, often after completing at least one year of study at the University of Guelph. Specific citizenship requirements, where applicable, are noted in individual award descriptions, ensuring that international students are broadly eligible unless explicitly stated otherwise. ## How to apply For many international entrance scholarships, including the President’s International Entrance Scholarship, University International Scholarship, and Dean's International Scholarship, no separate application is required. Eligibility is automatically assessed based on the admission application and academic records submitted to Admission Services. Prospective students are responsible for ensuring their admission application is complete and all supporting documents are received. For scholarships requiring an application and all bursaries, students must complete the relevant Financial Need Assessment Form (NAF) by the specified deadlines. International undergraduate students experiencing unforeseen financial situations should contact the International Student Advisor in Student Experience for immediate assistance. Regularly checking the University of Guelph's online award search tool is highly recommended for identifying specific awards and their unique application instructions and deadlines.
