Scholarships
Scholarship funding for international students is limited and highly competitive. Students completing the International Baccalaureate program with a minimum of 32 points are guaranteed a minimum entrance scholarship of $,2000 CDN. Other students with academic excellence may also be eligible for a entrance scholarships of up to $20,000, payable at $5,000 per year.
All students with academic excellence will automatically be considered for scholarships at the time of admission. Prior applications for scholarship awards are not required. Once students have completed one full session (8 months) at the University of Victoria, further
financial assistance may be available. International students should not depend on scholarships and bursaries to pay all their costs while at university.
