Blue and Gold Level Entrance Scholarship

What you will need

• ✓ No application: offers are made automatically from your best six Grade 12 U/M level courses (your 12O admission average)
• ✓ Register full-time in the academic year right after you graduate from high school

About this award

You receive $1,000 for one term. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a domestic student graduating from high school who has achieved academic excellence in any program of study. There is no application and no deadline: offers are made automatically from your 12O admission average. Winners are chosen automatically based on your 12O admission average—which is the average of your top six Grade 12 U/M (University or Mixed) level qualifying courses. The university lists this as the minimum support a student with an average in this range can expect. Ask University of Windsor how the money will reach you—some awards pay students directly, while others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. This award is not renewable: it pays $1,000 for one term.

Who qualifies

You must be a domestic student entering the University of Windsor directly from full-time secondary school with no previous attendance at any post-secondary educational institutions. To qualify for this specific level of support, you need a 12O admission average (the average of your best six final and interim Grade 12 U/M level qualifying courses or equivalent) between 85% and 89.99%. You must register full-time in the academic year immediately following your high school graduation. If you have a permanent disability, you are considered a full-time student for scholarship purposes as long as you are registered in a minimum 40% course load.

Tips for applying

• Academic RecordsAvoid including co-op courses when calculating your average. Instead, focus on your best six Grade 12 U/M level qualifying courses. Check your interim reports to ensure your best marks are available by May.
• SupportAvoid assuming your status is correct if you applied late. Instead, reach out to the University of Windsor office if you submitted a late OUAC (Ontario Universities' Application Centre — the central portal for university applications in Ontario) application for the Winter semester. This ensures you are flagged as entering directly from high school.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to request a deferral if you cannot start immediately. Instead, complete the Entrance Scholarship Deferral Request Form and submit it by January 31 of your first year of study. This protects your funding if you haven't already been granted an official admission deferral.
• RealismAvoid counting on this money for your entire degree. Instead, remember that this specific award is for one term only and is not renewable. Plan your budget based on a one-time $1,000 payment.
