Current scholarship standing is defined as:

Scholarship standing for undergraduate students is defined as a 75% average over the previous scholarship year and the successful completion of not less than 30 credit hours, or equivalent load hours as recorded in the University’s Student Information System, over that period. In considering students who complete more than 30 credit hours for which numeric grades are awarded, the average on the best 30 credit hours completed will be reviewed. Students who fail one or more courses during the scholarship year, regardless of the number of courses completed, will not be eligible for scholarships.

Applications are not necessary for most Memorial scholarships; they are awarded automatically based on academics and recommendations from academic units. You only need to apply for a scholarship if it is indicated in the description; otherwise, students who meet scholarship standing will be automatically considered. There are 4 basic groups of scholarships:

• Faculty specific scholarships see: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Scholarships – these are only for HSS students. Any that state they are awarded “on the basis of a recommendation from the Dean, Faculty of Humanities, and Social Sciences” are awarded automatically based on a student’s GPA and their meeting all other scholarship criteria; an application is not required. Other scholarships may state they require a recommendation from a specific academic department or an instructor. If this is the case, you need to contact an instructor or the head of the appropriate department for a recommendation.
• Awards for Current Undergraduate Students – available to students in any degree program. Any questions related to these scholarships must be directed to the Scholarships Office.
• Application based scholarships/awards – for current students who are attending Memorial University. Once you have been accepted as an undergraduate student at Memorial University, you may apply for an application-based scholarship/award. It is important to note that requested documentation must be provided with your application. 
• Awards Administered by other Authorities – these are not specific to, and are not administered by Memorial University. It is the student’s responsibility to research eligibility criteria, application processes, and deadlines for these scholarships.
