Algoma University Awards of Excellence are available to all Canadian citizen, secondary school graduates who completed all of their qualifying requirements in the academic year prior to commencing university studies at Algoma University. Canadian citizen International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma recipients are equally considered for Awards of Excellence.
To qualify, you must be entering into your first undergraduate program and enroll in 24 credits over 2 consecutive terms (fall/winter) of study. Awards are based on the average of the 6 highest graded, U or M final grades presented for admission.
Algoma U Awards of Excellence are renewed using a tiered-approach of the award. Students who satisfy the condition of renewal based on the required complement of credits, appropriate terms of study, and academic average may be able to renew according to the renewal awards levels outlined below and based on a 30 credit compliment. For example, if a students’ entrance average is 80% (bronze entrance award) but achieves an average of 85% after the first year of studies, the scholarship would be renewed at the silver award level.
Registrations in course loads less than 30 credits but greater than or equal to 24 credits will be prorated accordingly.
Bronze $1,500: 80-84.9%
Silver $2,500: 85-89.9%
Gold $3,000: 90-94.9%
Platinum $4,000: 95%+
