About this award

Memorial University of Newfoundland offers a limited number of entrance scholarships and awards each year to new undergraduate students. The page groups them into application-based awards and other entrance scholarships, and notes that some are administered by other authorities. The page does not list a single fixed dollar amount for the package. It refers to the awards collectively as "scholarships and awards" and names individual items such as the Transforming Our Horizons Entrance Scholarship, the Fry Family Foundation Dr. Philip Warren Award, the Harrison McCain Scholarship Bursary, the Ocean Ranger Memorial Award, the Schulich Leader Scholarship, and the SHAD Scholarship. How an award is decided is not detailed on this page beyond one pointer: the criteria for scholarship standing for new and returning undergraduate students are set out in the university Calendar. If something is unclear, the page directs you to email scholarships@mun.ca.

Who qualifies

You must be a new undergraduate student at Memorial University. You qualify as one of three groups: a Canadian student enrolled in a Newfoundland and Labrador high school; a Canadian citizen graduating from a high school outside Newfoundland and Labrador; or an international student graduating from high school around the world. The page places the word "qualifying" once, at the head of this list, and directs readers to the university Calendar for scholarship-standing criteria.

This is what the award's own page said when we last checked. Rules change, so confirm with the provider before you apply.
