Entrance Awards & Bursaries Application

Bishop’s University is proud to offer Entrance Awards and Bursaries to students entering from high school, CEGEP, or an equivalent educational institution. This funding is made possible thanks to the generous support of alumni and donors who believe in investing in our students’ success.

The questions in this application are designed to help us match you with funds that reflect the intentions of these donors—many of whom wish to support students with specific criteria, particular interests, or who are actively involved in certain activities.

Academic achievement
Financial need
Leadership
School and community involvement
