About this award

You get a one-time award of $500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a child or grandchild of an Acadia University alumnus. No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Acadia University's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. The page says children and grandchildren of Acadia alumni are eligible and does not describe a competition — ask Acadia's Alumni Relations office if you are unsure whether you qualify. The $500 is applied to your first-year tuition. Confirm with Acadia University if this is handled as a tuition credit or if any portion is paid to you directly. This is a one-time award for your first-year tuition, so it does not repeat in later years.

Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid sending a generic request for the discount. Instead, clearly state your relationship to the alum and provide their full name and graduation year. Contact Alumni Relations to ensure your family connection is verified.
• SupportAvoid guessing which documents you need. Instead, ask Alumni Relations if you need to provide a birth certificate or other proof of kinship. Get a checklist of required documents before you submit.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the semester starts to apply. Instead, submit your request as soon as you are admitted to ensure the $500 is applied to your account before tuition is due. Use the "Alumni Relations Tuition Discount" form linked from Acadia's entrance scholarships page.
• RealismAvoid assuming this will cover a large portion of your costs. Instead, remember that this is a one-time $500 credit. Plan your remaining budget using other grants or loans.
