UAlberta General International Undergraduate Scholarships

The General International Undergraduate Scholarships at the University of Alberta are a series of merit- and leadership-based awards for top international students entering their first undergraduate year, encompassing both automatic admission-based scholarships (Up to CAN $6,000) and competitive application-based distinction awards (Up to CAN $120,000 over four years). Applicants for the competitive pool must submit a single application online via the Awards Hub by the January 10 deadline, demonstrating superior academics and detailed narrative accounts of their accomplishments, leadership, and community involvement. While the highest awards provide a substantial financial stipend that is applied directly to tuition and fees, they are not fully funded scholarships, meaning recipients must use the remaining funds to cover their mandatory health insurance and other living expenses. The university provides essential administrative guidance for visa and study permit inquiries through its International Student & Visitor Services.
