About this award

You can receive between $500 and $1,500 with this award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. It is non-renewable, meaning it is a one-time payment for your first year. This is for you if you spent your high school years making significant contributions through extracurricular activities and community service. You must submit your application for admission and scholarships by March 1. No specific notification date is posted publicly — when you apply, ask Mount Allison University how and when you will hear back. You are automatically considered for this award when you apply for admission and scholarships by the deadline. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Mount Allison University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Mount Allison University 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 because this award is non-renewable. If you are looking for funding for future years, confirm with Mount Allison University what other options are available to you.

Who qualifies

You must be an incoming full-time first-year student. You must have demonstrated significant contributions in extracurricular activities and service during high school. Note that this award is not available for students starting their studies in January. You can combine this money with all other Mount Allison University scholarships and bursaries, except for the Leta G. Hill and Marjorie Young Bell Scholarships.
