Brock Scholar's Award
Overview
The Brock Scholars Award at Brock University is a prestigious academic scholarship automatically offered to all incoming undergraduate students worldwide who are entering their first post-secondary program. This award recognizes academic excellence with a renewable financial component designed to help offset tuition fees.
Eligibility Criteria
- Open to all first-time undergraduate students with no previous post-secondary experience.
- Minimum admission average of 80% based on Ontario equivalent grades or determined by the Admissions Office for non-Ontario curricula.
- Admission average is calculated using program prerequisites and the top six Grade 12U or 12M credits for Ontario students.
- Final transcripts including summer courses must be submitted by October 31 for scholarship revisions.
- Must maintain full-time enrollment status (minimum 3.0 credits in Fall/Winter terms) to retain the scholarship.
Award Amounts and Academic Requirements
The scholarship amount is based on the final admission average and is renewable for up to three years (two renewals for three-year degree programs):
