About this award

You can receive a one-time payment of $2,000. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. Because it is non-renewable, you will receive this amount once rather than every year. This is for you if you have spent your time making significant contributions to your community through leadership or service. You must submit your application for admission and scholarships by March 1. If you are planning to start your studies in January, please note that this award is not available to you. When you apply, ask Mount Allison University how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the application portal. You are automatically considered for this award when you apply for admission and scholarships by the March 1 deadline. 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. 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 because this award is non-renewable. If you are looking for funding for multiple years, confirm with Mount Allison University what other options are available to you.

Who qualifies

You must be an incoming full-time first-year student at Mount Allison University. This award is for students who have made significant contributions to their community. You cannot apply if you are starting your program in January.
