Yorkville University

Yorkville University provides a limited number of scholarships and bursaries to qualified students.

In memory of their father, Michael C. Markovitz, PhD, and Lawrence J. Markovitz, MD, established the Jacob Markovitz Memorial Scholarship Fund in 1987.

Throughout his life, Jacob Markovitz followed the biblical injunction of charity and showing kindness to strangers. We are delighted that funds are available at Yorkville University to carry on this good work. Throughout the years, these scholarships have supported many graduate students in the helping professions at a number of academic institutions.

The Jacob Markovitz Memorial Scholarship is a need-based scholarship that is available to new students entering their first trimester of study in the Master of Education, or the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University.

The equivalent of one scholarship will be awarded in each master’s program in each academic trimester and will be the equivalent to one year of full tuition. The decision about the scholarship will be made at the beginning of the applicant’s second trimester; all applicants will be informed of the decision at that time.

All students with Canadian citizenship or landed immigrant status in Canada who have submitted a complete application to a master’s program at Yorkville University are eligible to apply. Please note the following rules which must be followed in order to apply for a scholarship.

Scholarship funds will be applied towards your tuition fees beginning in the second trimester and will continue for future trimesters until the full value of your award has been applied. Scholarships will only be applied towards tuition and will not be disbursed in cash.

If you choose to defer your acceptance, it is your responsibility to reapply for the JMM Scholarship.
