University of Windsor Canada Full Scholarships 2023-2024

Canadian Scholarships at University of Windsor 2023:

1# Undergraduate Scholarships at UWindsor:

• UWindsor Open entrance scholarships for international students:

International students are automatically considered for the University of Windsor Open Entrance
Scholarship program provided that the following conditions are met:

• Must be coming directly from secondary school studies, the student must have completed a minimum of
  one term of full-time secondary school studies in the year immediately preceding the academic year
  that they are applying for.
• In the year immediately preceding, the student is not considered to have returned to secondary
  school studies to upgrade after a year or more break in studies.

While a student may receive an offer of admission, scholarship eligibility is based on final and interim
Grade 12 (U and M level equivalent) grades received (between May and July). Once all final grades are
received, scholarship eligibility will be reviewed should grades improve sufficient to move in to the
next scholarship tier. Students must be entering the Fall term as a full-time student.

Winter start students are not considered unless planning to register as a full-time student in the summer
term immediately following Winter.

• UWindsor Skills Competition Scholarships:

The University of Windsor is committed to supporting students who are excelling academically and who go
above and beyond by competing in a variety of skills competitions and challenges. UWindsor Skills
Competition Scholarships can be received in addition to an open entrance scholarship or any other award
that the student is eligible to receive.

You can also receive multiple skills competition scholarships. To qualify, students must be entering
directly from full-time secondary school studies into a first year, undergraduate program at the
University of Windsor.

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of the terms and conditions that are specific to each award.
scholarships cannot be transferred to another student and are applied directly to a student’s tuition
account in the fall term, provided that the student has confirmed their scholarship by completing the
registration form and they have registered as a full-time student.
