General Award Information

Awards are not always about grades. Your extra-curricular activities, volunteer involvement and financial need, will also be considered. You could qualify for the following types of awards:

  • Scholarships: Awarded for GPA achievement of 3.2 or higher
  • Awards: Awarded for GPA achievement of 2.0 or higher
  • Bursaries: Awarded based on financial need


Mount Royal offers hundreds of awards to new and continuing students. Prior to applying for awards, you may wish to review the award eligibility and criteria of the awards available. Simply search the award site using keywords (i.e. business, nursing, entrance etc.) to find awards applicable to you.  

Please note:

  • Within the awards listing, awards for students in "any program" refer to credit students in degree, applied degree, or diploma programs.
  • Part-time students are also eligible for some In-Course Awards. Part-time students are those who have completed less than 60 percent of a full course load of a program over two semesters in the current academic year.
