Undergraduate Scholarships
Types of Scholarships
Entrance Awards are for students who are entering the first year of an undergraduate program at Campus Saint-Jean from high school or are entering with less than 24 post-secondary transfer credits. Students must be new to the U of A to be eligible for these awards. There are a multitude of Entrance Awards available to CSJ students, with values ranging from $400 to $10,000. The criteria for these awards may include, among other factors, academic achievements, leadership, and community involvement. Campus Saint-Jean students have access to scholarships offered to all UofA students. Additionally, by submitting a scholarship application via the Awards Hub, they are also considered for scholarships offered specifically to CSJ students.
Please note undergraduate entrance scholarship applications closed January 10, 2024.
Continuing Student Awards are for students who have successfully completed at least one year in one of our undergraduate programs and are continuing into a further year of study at Campus Saint-Jean. There are a multitude of scholarships available to students pursuing their studies at Campus Saint-Jean, with values up to $10,000. Some of these awards are awarded by nomination by Campus Saint-Jean and do not require an application. However, many are awarded to students who submit a scholarship application via the Awards Hub. You may find more information about these scholarships as well as deadlines on the Office of the Registrar website.
The application for undergraduate scholarships and awards will open in February 2025.

How to Submit a Scholarship Application
If you are not currently enrolled in a program of study, you must have submitted an application before you can apply for a scholarship.
Although some scholarships are awarded through automatic consideration, there are a fair number of scholarships that require more information from you in order to be considered for these competitions. We encourage you to submit a scholarship application via the Awards Hub.
How to navigate the Awards Hub
Once you have submitted an application for admission, you will be able to connect to the Awards Hub with your CCID and password.
