Scholarships, Bursaries, Awards and Financial Aid

Our office administers entrance and undergraduate scholarships, bursaries and awards; processes loan documents for students from the United States and from Canadian provinces, other than Newfoundland and Labrador, and provides liaison services between those students and their provincial loan offices.

Applications are not necessary for most Memorial scholarships and awards; they are awarded automatically based on academics and recommendations from academic units. You only need to apply for a scholarship/award if the description says so, otherwise you are considered automatically.
