Scholarships, Bursaries, Awards and Financial Aid

Our office administers entrance and undergraduate scholarships, bursaries and awards; processes loan documents for students from the United States and from Canadian provinces, other than Newfoundland and Labrador, and provides liaison services between those students and their provincial loan offices.

Applications are not necessary for most Memorial scholarships and awards; they are awarded automatically based on academics and recommendations from academic units. You only need to apply for a scholarship/award if the description says so, otherwise you are considered automatically.

Student services during the 2025 Canada Games

Memorial University is a proud partner of the 2025 Canada Games, running from Aug. 8-25. During the Games, St. John's campus will continue to support students but encourages students to plan ahead when visiting campus. Students may experience increased traffic, reduced parking and temporary changes to the level of in-person services. If seeking an in-person appointment with a service provider, students are encouraged to reach out to confirm hours and in-person availability before coming to campus.

The Registrar's Office main counter, located in A2003, will be open during this time with limited resources. Should you need to be on campus to visit the Registrar's Office, we encourage you to email registrar@mun.ca beforehand to ensure that your inquiry can be handled appropriately.

If you are seeking academic advice, please email advice@mun.ca as the Academic Advising Centre staff will be working remotely and offering virtual appointments only during this time.
