Marjorie Young Bell Scholarship

About this scholarship

The Marjorie Young Bell Scholarship is one of Mount Allison University's largest undergraduate awards and is listed among the highlighted major scholarships for first-year students. Mount Allison describes its Bell Scholarships as among the largest undergraduate awards in Canada. The value is CAD $70,000, paid as CAD $17,500 per year, and the package includes an optional internship. Eight awards are listed. The scholarship is partial funding because it is a fixed value and does not guarantee full coverage of tuition, fees, residence, meal plan, books, insurance, travel, and personal expenses. Eligibility is for outstanding high school graduates who demonstrate strong academic ability, leadership capability, volunteer work, extracurricular activities, work experience, and good citizenship. Students apply using Mount Allison's application for admission and scholarships, and the official page says the major-scholarship application and supporting documents must be submitted by March 1. Additional materials include one reference letter and an essay question sent after the admission application is submitted. Renewal requires a 3.5 GPA with 30 course credits across fall and winter, community involvement, and an annual activities report.
