Scholarships for Entrance Students
If you are a high school student who has applied to Memorial, there are many scholarship opportunities available to you.
Memorial University of Newfoundland Alumni Entrance Scholarship and Dr. Leslie Harris Memorial University Alumni Association Scholarship: Deadline March 1, 2012
Packages have been sent to every high school in Newfoundland and Labrador. These scholarships are for students graduating from a Newfoundland and Labrador high school who have a minimum of a 90% average on the courses required for admission to University and who demonstrate leadership contributions and involvement in their school and community.
If you feel you are eligible to apply, please contact the guidance counsellor at your high school.
Newfoundland and Labrador Students
Most of our entrance scholarships are awarded automatically and applications are not required. Some entrance scholarships are offered to students in March/April each year. These offers are the result of a nomination process whereby Newfoundland and and Labrador High Schools are asked to nominate their top students for an early scholarship offer of $2000.00 or more. These offers are limited to students who have an average of 90% or higher on the courses required for admission to Memorial University .
If students do not receive a scholarship through this early process they can still qualify for an automatic entrance scholarship in July/Aug based on their final transcript from high school. Those students who have not previously received a scholarship of equal or higher value from Memorial University are awarded $2000.00 if their final admission average is 90% or higher. If the final admission average is 85%-89.99% they will be awarded $1000.00 – again no application is required beyond the admission application.
There are a few exceptions where applications are required using this application form.
Note: final admission average is the average calculated by Memorial University using the final grades in the 10 credits required for admission to the university.
Out of Province High School Students
We offer entrance scholarships to students graduating from Canadian High Schools outside Newfoundland and Labrador but students do not have to apply specifically for the scholarships. They are considered automatically based on their admission application to the university. The early scholarship allocations are valued at $3000.00 and $2000.00 (non-renewable). The first of these are usually awarded in early April so students must ensure that their admission application and supporting documents are submitted to the university before the March 1st Admissions deadline in order to qualify.
If students do not receive a scholarship through this early process (i.e. if your application is late for some reason or you do not have the 90%+ required average) you can still qualify for an automatic entrance scholarship in July/Aug based on your final transcript from high school. Those students who have not previously received a scholarship of equal or higher value from Memorial University are awarded $2000.00 if their final admission average is 90% or higher. If the final admission average is 85%-89.9% they will be awarded $1000.00 – again no application is required beyond the admission application.
Note: final admission average is the average calculated by Memorial University using the final grades in the 10 credits required for admission to the university.
