Bishop's University

At Bishop’s University we provide endowed scholarships, awards, bursaries, grants and financial aid in excess of $7 million thanks to the generous support of students, alumni, faculty, staff, foundations, corporations and private donors. Each year approximately 55% of our student body receives financial assistance in some form ranging from $500-$12,000. We encourage all students to take a look at the financial opportunities available to them.

At Bishop’s we have two main categories for all entering students: competitive admission scholarships; and awards and bursaries for entering students.

Our scholarships range in value from $1,000-$4,000 per academic year. Some are renewable for your entire time at Bishop’s (renewal conditions apply), while others are one time awards that you can receive either as a new student or a continuing student. To be considered, all you need to do is complete your online application for admissions by March 1st and have all your supporting documents submitted to us no later than March 15th. We will then review all applicants and make scholarship offers soon thereafter.

The Michael Goldbloom Excellence Scholarships, valued at $10,000 per year (renewable), are intended to recognize and reward students with outstanding academic records who personify Bishop’s fundamental values – sound learning, good citizenship, community, discovery, excellence, and sustainability. To learn more please visit the Michael Goldbloom Excellence Scholarship web page.

Our entrance awards and bursaries range from $500-$12,000 per academic year. Most of these awards and bursaries are one time non-renewable available to entering students only. To be considered, all you need to do is complete your online application for admissions and complete the online entrance awards and bursaries application by March 1st. We will then review all applicants with complete admission files and make awards and bursaries offers soon thereafter. In addition to academic merit, these awards may also consider leadership, extra-curricular activities and financial need. The awards and bursaries form is available starting on the date of the annual Fall Open House.

The eligibility criteria for applicants to the Returning Awards & Bursaries program are as follows:

All scholarships, awards, and bursaries are disbursed in two equal instalments: one deposit in the Fall semester and the balance in the Winter semester, provided you meet all applicable eligibility criteria. The funds are allocated to your student account after the Add/Drop deadline each semester.
