Saint Mary’s University rewards academic excellence with a competitive admissions scholarships program. Students who apply by and are admitted by February 15 for the September intake will be assessed for admissions scholarships within the applicant candidate pool. The Entrance Awards Program requires a separate application, with awards based on factors including academic merit, financial need and/or community and extracurricular involvement.

We are pleased to offer 10 renewable entrance awards valued at $50,000 over 4 years awarded annually. These scholarships will be presented to exceptional students from across Canada in recognition of their accomplishments and as encouragement and support for their success in the Sobey School of Business.

The initial scholarship in academic year one is $20,000. The renewal value in academic years 2-4 is $10,000 per year. The total value of the scholarship over four years is $50,000.
