About the scholarship

Trent University International Scholarships 2027 support international students starting an undergraduate degree at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. Every admitted international student is automatically considered for an International Entrance Scholarship based on grades, while high-achieving students can apply separately for competitive International Prestigious Scholarships & Awards worth up to CAD 15,000 a year.

Partial funding: these are tuition and ancillary-fee awards, not full cost-of-living packages. Trent pairs entrance and prestigious awards — you can hold both — but plan for living costs separately.

  • Meet Trent’s admission and English-language proficiency requirements.
  • Fulfil your offer conditions, register for courses and pay your first-year fees.
