Entrance Award Recipients

Congratulations on receiving a University of Alberta Entrance award! It’s time to celebrate your achievement and accept your award. 

Application-Based Scholarship Offer Deadline

These scholarships must be applied for on our Entrance Scholarships web page and are awarded based on academics, leadership, community engagement, etc.

Application review begins following the January 10 deadline, and offers will be made beginning in March. 

In order to receive your award, before your award deadline you must:

  1. Accept Your Admission Offer
  2. Pay Your Tuition Deposit
  3. Accept Your Award Offer

For offers made in March, you must complete these steps by March 31 (even if this date is earlier than the deadline specified on your admission offer). 

For offers made April 1 or later, you must complete these steps by the deadline stated in your admission offer. Visit our Accept Your Offer web page for more information.

Admission-Based Scholarship Offer Deadline

These scholarships are automatically awarded based on your grades at the time of your admission to the University of Alberta. Admission-based award offers begin mid-October and continue through the admissions cycle.

In order to accept an admission based award offer, you simply must accept your admission offer and pay your tuition deposit by the deadline specified in your admission offer. Visit our Accept Your Offer web page for more information.

USE OF AWARD FUNDING

Awards cannot be used to pay your Tuition Deposit. Your award will be split evenly between the fall and winter term. If funds are remaining after being applied to outstanding tuition or fees, the money will be refunded, but not before the Tuition Fee Refund Deadline for that term.

TAXES

You will receive a T4A slip for any award funding you receive, for use on your next tax return. Taxes will not be deducted at the time your award is disbursed. 

how to share your story

Many undergraduate awards at the University of Alberta are funded through the generosity of donors. Even if you applied to a general scholarship competition, it's likely that your funding will consist of individual, donor-backed awards. Your Notice of Award letter will include donor information.

Please take a moment to Share Your Story as a way to let donors know the difference their gift has made to you. It only takes a few minutes, but it means a lot to our donors and goes a long way towards ensuring their continued generosity for future students like you!
