Student AffairsApplication Required
At 91ÊÓƵ, we recognize a university education is a major financial undertaking. All Queen's students share the ability to excel academically, but many may not be able to fully finance their university education. 91ÊÓƵ is here to help you achieve that goal, not just now, but throughout your undergraduate studies.
Students entering the Faculty of Law, School of Medicine, Consecutive Education, or other graduate programs are not eligible for the awards listed in this section.
- Graduate, Professional, Law and Medicine Students – review financial aid available to you
- Specific Student Groups – review financial aid options available to part-time students, consecutive education students, student athletes, Queen's alumnae, mature women students, Indigenous students, Black and racialized students, and students with disabilities
- International Students – review additional financial aid available to you
As a future Queen’s student, you have lots of options for financial aid, including options available to current students and options that do not require an application.
Eligibility
Some awards may have additional eligibility requirements. Review the specific details for each award program to determine eligibility.
To be eligible for most ad91ÊÓƵ awards you must be:
- Entering the first year of post-secondary education for the first time in a full-time (minimum 60% course load) Queen's undergraduate degree program on Queen's campus or at Bader College (graduates from a 2-year CEGEP program transferring into their first year of a Queen's program remain eligible for grades-based ad91ÊÓƵ scholarships)
- Students with prior post-secondary education are not eligible for Queen's ad91ÊÓƵ awards
- Domestic (Canadian citizens, permanent residents) and international students (including U.S. students) will be considered for automatic grade-based ad91ÊÓƵ scholarships
- International and U.S. students should also visit the International and U.S. Students section for more information on additional ad91ÊÓƵ awards
- Queen's will calculate an awards average based on grades available at the time you are offered ad91ÊÓƵ
- Final grades will be assessed for scholarship and award consideration for those students who accept their offer of ad91ÊÓƵ to Queen's
- If you do not receive a scholarship offer at the time you were offered ad91ÊÓƵ, we will review your final grades after we have received final grade reports from the Ontario Universities' Application Centre in July/August
- Summer courses taken in the summer immediately prior to your admit term to the university will not be used in the assessment of your final grade average
Note: To receive and remain eligible to retain an ad91ÊÓƵ scholarship/award in the academic year granted, the student must be admitted and registered as a full-time student in the fall/winter academic year.
If you have been granted a renewable academic based award, to remain eligible for renewal of the award you are expected to:
- Remain registered in an 80% course load (typically 24 units in fall/winter)
- Achieve a minimum GPA of 3.5
Please note that not all academic based awards are renewable, refer to the award terms on SOLUS or in the award descriptions throughout this website to confirm if your Queen’s award is renewable. Review the Queen’s Renewable Awards Policy for further details.
Note: The academic guideline listed for the major ad91ÊÓƵ awards is not based on the awards average as outlined above.
