The President’s Award is an entrance scholarship valued at $2,500 for international students entering their first year of study at Algoma University, completing their previous academic qualification with a minimum country-equivalent grade average of A (using the Algoma U grading scale). To qualify, candidates must be studying on a full-time basis (24-30 credits over two consecutive terms of study). Registrations in a course load of less than 30 credits, but greater than or equal to 24 credits will be prorated. Students must complete all qualifying requirements in the academic year prior to commencing studies in any program of study at Algoma University.
International students studying in an Ontario secondary school and meeting the OSSD requirements must achieve 80-89.9 percent on their top 6 grade 12 U/M courses presented for admission.
