National Renewable Entrance Scholarships for Canadian Students
If you’re a top scholar with an average of 80% or higher, you qualify to automatically receive an entrance scholarship to Trent. Scholars with 95% or higher? You earn free first-year tuition – no application required.
Trent’s guaranteed (and renewable) national entrance scholarships are available for Canadian students entering an undergraduate program directly from a Canadian secondary school. Canadian students transferring to Trent from another postsecondary institution are also eligible for entrance scholarships.
Entrance scholarships are renewable provided the student maintains a minimum 80% average in a full course load during the previous academic year. This can really pay off – with a total scholarship potential of more than $18,000 over four years.
