York University Global Leader of Tomorrow Award for International Students
Offered by York University
About this scholarship
The York University Global Leader of Tomorrow Award for International Students is a renewable entrance scholarship for a small number of international undergraduates. York lists two awards per year, valued at CAD $80,000 total, paid as CAD $20,000 per year for four years. It is aimed at international students who require a Canadian study permit and are entering the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree at York. The official award criteria emphasize outstanding academic achievement, often described as an A average or equivalent, plus other accomplishments such as community service or excellence in the arts, sports, or another area of individual achievement; financial need may also receive preference. Applicants must submit York's International Student Scholarship and Award Application, and because a York reference number is required, students should apply for admission well before the scholarship deadline. The award is partial funding because it is a fixed annual scholarship and does not guarantee full coverage of all tuition, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, and personal expenses. The verified cycle deadline has passed, so the next deadline is left as TBA.
