About this award

You can receive a $5,000 scholarship. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a first-year student entering Mount Allison University from any field of study, especially if you are coming from Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or New Brunswick. You must submit your application by March 1. When you apply, ask Mount Allison University how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. 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. There are 5 of these awards offered. 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 — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Mount Allison University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a first-year student entering Mount Allison University from any discipline. A preference is given to students from Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or New Brunswick. Please note that this award is not available for students starting in January.

Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid treating this as a separate process. Instead, remember that you apply for this scholarship at the same time you apply for admission to the university. Submit your admission and scholarship application together by March 1.
• TranscriptsAvoid sending incomplete records. Instead, ensure you provide your most recent transcript to the admissions office. If you are applying for early admission using Grade 11 marks, you must also include your Grade 12 course list.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to organize your papers. Instead, prepare your transcripts and course lists early so you can meet the March 1 deadline for both admission and the scholarship.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will get this award. Instead, recognize that only 5 of these $5,000 scholarships are offered, so you should apply for other funding options as well.
