About this award

You will receive $2,000 CDN. 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 are a high-achieving student moving from one post-secondary institution to another to continue your studies at St. Francis Xavier University. You must apply by May 30. When you apply, ask St. Francis Xavier University how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, a student portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask St. Francis Xavier University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask St. Francis Xavier 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 multi-year funding, confirm with St. Francis Xavier University what other options are available to you.

You must be among the currently enrolled students transferring full-time to St. Francis Xavier University. To qualify, you must be accepted with an average of 80% or higher on a full time course load and maintain a minimum 80% average. This award is open to all nationalities.

Tips for applying

• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to gather your papers. Instead, start your transfer application early so you can meet the May 30 deadline without stress. Set a calendar reminder for two weeks before the due date.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award just because you meet the 80% threshold. Instead, treat this as a competitive application and focus on presenting your best academic record. Check with the admissions office to see how many of these are given out each year.
