About this award

You can receive a scholarship ranging in value from $500 to $20,000. As these are scholarships, the money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an undergraduate student—including domestic students and international students with a study permit—in or entering the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) at the University of Alberta, with specific awards also targeting Aboriginal students. Deadlines depend on your situation: continuing BCom (Bachelor of Commerce) students apply between January 15 and April 1, while transfer students apply between April 1 and June 1. For high school students entering their first year, deadlines vary; check the University of Alberta — Alberta School of Business's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Alberta — Alberta School of Business how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Alberta — Alberta School of Business during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of Alberta — Alberta School of Business whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid applying directly to the School of Business Undergraduate Program Office. Instead, use the one central undergraduate application for all current U of A students. Visit the Office of the Registrar webpage to find the central portal.
• SupportAvoid guessing which deadline applies to you. Instead, identify if you are a transfer, continuing, or incoming student first. Check the specific date range for your category before starting your paperwork.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring external opportunities. Instead, look for scholarships outside the university that specifically target BCom (Bachelor of Commerce) students. This increases your total funding pool.
• RealismAvoid assuming a set amount. Instead, remember that values range widely from $500 to $20,000. Apply for multiple awards to improve your chances of covering your full tuition.
