About this award

You can receive $2,500 annually. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an undergraduate student at Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's campus, who maintains a strong academic record. There is no application and no deadline: Memorial says awards on this list do not require an application unless noted, and none is noted for this scholarship. The Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards chooses the winners. The committee awards it to an undergraduate student at the St. John's campus with scholarship standing; ask Memorial's Scholarships and Awards Office what average that requires. Ask Memorial University 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 Memorial University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an undergraduate student currently enrolled at Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's campus. You must also have scholarship standing.

Tips for applying

• Academic StandingAvoid assuming your current GPA automatically qualifies you. Instead, check the specific definition of scholarship standing used by the university. Contact the registrar's office to confirm your current status.
• StrategyAvoid waiting for an application window. Instead, know that no application is required: the Senate Committee awards it on scholarship standing, so your grades are what count.
• RealismAvoid counting on this funding. Instead, remember that committee-based awards are often highly selective. Apply for multiple bursaries to diversify your funding sources.
