Published by G Paul · last checked September 26, 2026
You can receive a total of $27,000 over four years. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. In your first year, you get $12,000, and in years two through four, you get $5,000 a year. This is for you if you are a high-achieving student from Atlantic Canada who also demonstrates financial need. You must submit your application for admission and scholarships by March 1. No specific notification date is posted publicly — check Mount Allison University's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Beyond high academic standing and financial need, Mount Allison University doesn't publish how the winner is picked — ask them how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. There are 4 recipients holding the award at once, with 1 awarded annually to an incoming student. 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. To keep this scholarship, you must maintain a minimum 3.7 sessional GPA (Grade Point Average — the average of your final grades) on a full course load of 30 credits. You must also submit a letter to the donor at the end of your first academic year. Note that you cannot combine this with other scholarships.
