University of Alberta Regional Excellence Scholarship

About this scholarship

The University of Alberta Regional Excellence Scholarship is an admission-based scholarship for top international undergraduate applicants from certain regions. On its official international undergraduate scholarships page, the university lists the award among scholarships that do not require a separate scholarship application. Applicants are evaluated for admission-based scholarships when they apply to the University of Alberta, using the high school admission average available at the time of the admission offer. The Regional Excellence Scholarship can provide up to CAD $5,000. It is partial funding because it lowers the cost of study but does not cover full tuition, fees, housing, meals, books, health insurance, transportation, travel, or personal expenses. The university contacts eligible students directly if they qualify for an admission-based award. Students should submit a complete undergraduate admission application, meet program and English-language requirements, and watch for scholarship information in the admission offer or later university communications. Region eligibility and exact award value can vary, so the individual award offer should be treated as final.
