Strong grades, community service and leadership can help you compete for Trent University’s International Prestigious Scholarships and Awards in Canada. The 2027 opportunity offers partial funding for eligible incoming undergraduates.
Securing a Fully Funded Scholarship is only the first step. Many Nigerian students are now utilizing No-Cosigner Student Loans through providers like MPOWER Financing and Prodigy Finance to cover living expenses in the USA, Canada, and the UK.
If you are applying to Ivy League or Russell Group Universities, look for programs offering Graduate Assistantships. Many top-tier universities are currently granting GRE and GMAT Waivers for African applicants with strong professional backgrounds or high GPAs from recognized institutions.
For Canada and the US, a WES Course-by-Course Evaluation is often mandatory. Additionally, if your degree was taught in English, you may qualify for an IELTS/TOEFL Waiver, saving you significant costs during the Graduate Admissions process.
Awards support tuition and mandatory ancillary fees, reaching CAD 15,000 annually and CAD 60,000 over four years. Actual awards vary; applicants must budget for uncovered costs. Scholarship-specific restrictions apply within the award portfolio.
Applicants must pay international fees, study on a Canadian study permit, apply to a Trent undergraduate degree, meet admission and English requirements, and have a final high-school average equivalent to at least 80% in Canada. Selection considers academic achievement, service, leadership and financial need.
Eligible starts are May/June or September; January starters, postgraduate certificate applicants and graduate students are excluded. Recipients must fulfil their offer, course-registration and fee-payment conditions.
Use the Required Documents section in your Trent account for your curriculum-specific admission checklist. Submit the academic and language evidence requested there. Complete the scholarship form’s own evidence requirements for your achievements and financial circumstances; the public overview does not publish a universal scholarship-document checklist.
One scholarship application covers the prestigious awards for which you qualify. Check programme-specific admission dates early enough to access the scholarship form.
