Entrance & Excellence Scholarship for African Students
Studying in English
The University of Ottawa is proud of the diversity of its
international student body. This renewable scholarship is offered to
international students who are citizens of African countries, who are admitted
in the Fall 2022 term (September start date) or later with an admission average
of 80% or higher, who are studying in English, and who enroll in one of the
specified undergraduate programs in the faculties of Engineering, Science, or
Social Sciences.
This significant financial contribution to their education
reduces their tuition fees by $17,500 to $25,000 for the excellence
scholarships and by $12,000 to $20,000 for the entrance scholarships, depending
on the program annually. All students who are eligible for this scholarship
will automatically receive it upon enrolment. It will be applied directly to
their tuition fees.
The Entrance scholarship cannot be combined with the
Excellence Scholarship for African Students Studying in English. Our
scholarship program is one of the most generous in Canada.
It rewards not only your pre-university academic
achievements, but also your achievements every term of full-time study at
University. The new scholarship will give African students studying in English
access to numerous pilot programs in three faculties for a significantly
reduced cost of tuition.
In 2020, more than $42 million in scholarships were
allocated to undergraduate students and $35 million to graduate students.
In a bid to assist students throughout the application
process, the University of Ottawa will host a number of virtual sessions to
answer questions and guide prospective students on the application process.
