You can receive between $12,000 and $18,000 per year, for a total value of $48,000 to $72,000 depending on your program. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have a record of superior academic ability and leadership, and you have stayed involved in your school and local community while facing financial need. You must submit your application by December 8, 2026. You will see your results in your SOLUS (Student On-Line University System — the secure portal for your student records) Student Centre in late February. Selection is based on a combination of your financial need, academic strength, leadership qualities, and community involvement. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask Queen's University how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Queen's 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 three subsequent years, you must maintain a minimum GPA (Grade Point Average — the numerical average of your final grades) of 3.5 in a full course load each year and show that your financial need remains evident.
You are eligible if you are entering the first year of any program at Queen's University and your permanent family residence is in Ontario. You must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or a Protected Person (someone with refugee or protected-person status in Canada). To be competitive, you should have a cumulative average of 90% or higher throughout high school. You may attend high school in Canada or internationally, and you can still apply if you are taking a gap year. Financial need is one of the criteria, and if you win you will not be eligible for other merit-based scholarships.
