About this award

You can receive a total of $20,000, which is paid as $5,000 per year and is renewable for 4 years. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you were at the very top of your high school class and maintained a near-perfect grade average. The next application deadline is March 1, 2026. Because this scholarship is only offered every 4 years, you should confirm with St. Francis Xavier University how and when you will be notified of the result. Selection criteria aren't published — ask St. Francis Xavier University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask St. Francis Xavier 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. To keep this award for the full 4 years, you will likely need to meet certain academic standards. Renewal conditions aren't listed — confirm with St. Francis Xavier University what you need to maintain to ensure the funding continues.

Who qualifies

You must be a Canadian resident entering your first year of full-time undergraduate study. To qualify, you must rank in the top 5% of your high school class, have a superior grade point average, and meet a minimum 96% average.

This is what the award's official page said when we last checked. Rules change, so confirm on the award's official page before you apply.

Tips for applying

  • StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to check the calendar. Since this is only offered every 4 years, set a reminder now for the March 1, 2026 deadline so you do not miss this rare window.
  • RealismAvoid assuming a 96% average guarantees a win. Instead, recognize that this is a highly restrictive award based on a very narrow percentage of students. Apply for other scholarships alongside this one to diversify your funding.
