University of Ottawa International English Academic Excellence Scholarship
Offered by University of Ottawa
About this scholarship
The University of Ottawa International English Academic Excellence Scholarship is a non-renewable scholarship for top international students entering eligible English-language undergraduate programs. uOttawa states that the award is for students newly admitted in the Winter 2026 term or later and that 100 awards are available. The value is CAD $10,000, paid as CAD $5,000 per term. The scholarship is not renewable, but the official page states that it can be combined with the International English Admission Scholarship, giving strong students a larger first-year tuition reduction. It is partial funding because it does not cover full tuition, fees, residence, food, books, insurance, travel, or personal expenses. Eligible applicants must be international students with valid study permits, pay international tuition fees, enter an approved English-language undergraduate program in Arts, Engineering, Health Sciences, Science, Social Sciences, or the Telfer School of Management, have a minimum admission average of 90%, not enroll in French immersion, and study full time. The award is automatic upon full-time enrollment for successful candidates.
