You are eligible if you:
- Have Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status in Canada as of the application deadline date.
- Are planning to start full-time studies in your first bachelor's degree or diploma program.
- There is no minimum cumulative average required (non-academic courses, such as career or personal development related courses, will not be considered).
- If you have applied for entry into a college or university, but have not yet been accepted, you can still apply for the Opportunity Scholarship. However, if you are awarded a scholarship, you must provide an acceptance letter from your educational institution.
Students must use the scholarship in the academic year for which it is awarded.
Required Documents:
