To be eligible, candidates transferring from another Canadian college or university must normally:
Have a 7.5/9.0 (UVic scale) transfer or diploma admission average and have sent a final transcript to Undergraduate Admissions by the required scholarship deadline
Returning UVic transfer students:
If you are returning to UVic after attending another Canadian post-secondary institution you will need to contact Student Awards and Financial Aid to be assessed for a transfer scholarship. Returning UVic students still need to be transferring directly (only one semester without studies between institutions) from a Canadian college/university. Students must send in their final transcripts to Undergraduate Records by the required deadlines. Transcripts are not automatically forwarded to Student Awards and Financial Aid. It is the returning student's responsibility to ensure that they have contacted our office for scholarship review by the required deadlines.
To be eligible, Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada entering from a high school outside of Canada must normally be:
Students enrolled in the North Island Dual Admission Program will be eligible for consideration for a secondary school entrance scholarship. UVic will automatically assess students for an entrance scholarship based on their Grade 12 final marks provided by North Island College.
Entrance scholarships will be deferred until the student enters UVic and registers in 12.0 graded units at the University of Victoria in two consecutive terms of study, provided they enter UVic within the time frame of the Dual Admission Program. If a student does not register and maintain enrolment in 12.0 graded units, their scholarship will be withdrawn. Please note, students must contact the Entrance Scholarship Officer ([email protected]) to have their scholarship activated when they enter UVic.
Note: students are ineligible for any other UVic administered scholarships until their entrance scholarship is fully paid out.
To be eligible, international undergraduate students must normally be:
Note: Eligible candidates are automatically referred to Student Awards & Financial Aid by Undergraduate Admissions.
Preference is for students with an interest in painting or sculpture and who are under 30 years of age when entering second or third year and a further preference is for at least one recipient to be a Canadian-born Indigenous student.
Approval of the recipients will be made by the Senate Committee on Awards upon the recommendation of the Department of Visual Arts.
To be automatically renewed a student must have completed a total of 12 or more academic units in any two terms of study between May and April and maintained a grade point average of 4.0/9.0 or higher on the best 12.0 units. The scholarship is automatically renewed for each year of a student's full time study until the completion of a first degree or for a maximum of two years, whichever is the shorter period. A student whose grade point average falls below 4.0/9.0 may file a written appeal with the Senate Committee on Awards to seek special consideration for renewal of the award.
Students registered in a co-op or work experience work-term will automatically be renewed when they next complete 12.0 or more academic units in two terms, provided they have a grade point average of 4.0/9.0 or higher in the two terms. Any student who takes neither a co-op, work experience work-term, nor 80% of a full course load for more than one term may forfeit their award.
