Vancouver Island University International Student Entrance Scholarship
Offered by Vancouver Island University
About this scholarship
The Vancouver Island University International Student Entrance Scholarship is an application-required entrance award for new undergraduate students at VIU. The official VIU entrance awards page lists the scholarship at CAD $5,000 each, with 20 awards available. It is open to first-year students in any undergraduate program at VIU, and selection is based on academic excellence. The award is partial funding because it is a one-time tuition credit and does not cover full tuition, student fees, housing, meals, books, health insurance, travel, or personal expenses. VIU states that entrance awards are not automatic upon acceptance; students must apply to be considered, and they can do so once they have received a student number. All entrance awards are applied as tuition credits in the fall semester after enrollment is confirmed. The page states that Fall 2026 applications are closed and selected students have been notified, so the next cycle is recorded as TBA. Because the official entrance awards page is the place where students reach the application process when it is open, it is used as the application URL rather than a generic university homepage.
