About this award

You can receive a one-time payment of $5,000. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. There are 5 awards available in total, and this money is non-renewable. This is for you if you are an incoming student who can demonstrate exceptional financial need. You must submit your application for admission and scholarships by March 1. No specific notification date is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Mount Allison University's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. You will be automatically considered for this award when you apply for admission and scholarships by the 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.

• SupportAvoid submitting your application without checking for errors. Instead, ask a teacher or counselor to review your admission and scholarship application for clarity. Have a second pair of eyes check your dates and spelling.
