Awards & Scholarships

Annually, the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences (CSAHS) distributes over $500,000 in student awards and recognizes the academic achievement and outstanding leadership of over 200 students. Many of these awards are generously funded by donors who see the importance of supporting students in their academic and professional pursuits. We are so proud of the excellence of our students and the generosity of our donors.

Be rewarded for the hard work you are doing both inside and outside the classroom. Apply for an award today.

Awards, which often help relieve financial burden, can have a far-reaching effect. Criminal Justice and Public Policy student Nathaniel Brown received the McKendry-Baker Memorial scholarship.

The importance of even a slight decrease in financial stress cannot be overstated. Without this stress, we can continue to focus less on making money and focus more on our academics and giving back to the university and wider community. It pushes us to continue to strive for greatness and give back.

These include guaranteed scholarships awarded to students with an admission average of 85% or higher and various other awards that require an application. These are awarded for past achievements involving extra-curricular activities, demonstrated leadership ability, volunteerism and more.

See the world as part of your learning experience. Travel Grants are for students travelling in Canada or internationally as part of their program, including exchange programs. These grants help to offset costs like airfare, vaccinations, travel insurance costs and other costs associated with travelling.

Bursaries are provided to students who apply for and demonstrate a need for financial assistance. Bursaries are available to students that are entering or are already enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies.
