About the University Of Ottawa Entrance and Excellence African Scholarships

The University of Ottawa is proud of the diversity of its international student body. This renewable scholarship is offered to international students who are citizens of African countries, who are admitted in the Fall 2024 term (September start date) or later with an admission average of 80% or higher, who are studying in English, and who enroll in one of the specified undergraduate programs in the faculties of Engineering, Science, or Social Sciences.

The African scholarship covers the full tuition fee for undergraduate students as well as a stipend for living expenses. The scholarship is valid for up to four years, provided the student meets all the requirements of the scholarship.

This significant financial contribution to their education reduces their tuition fees by $17,500 to $25,000 for the excellence scholarships and by $12,000 to $20,000 for the entrance scholarships, depending on the program each year.

All students who are eligible for this scholarship will automatically receive it upon enrollment. It will be applied directly to their tuition fees. The entrance scholarship cannot be combined with the Excellence Scholarship for African Students Studying in English.

Our scholarship program is one of the most generous in Canada. It rewards not only your pre-university academic achievements but also your achievements every term of full-time study at the university. The new African scholarships will give African students studying in English access to numerous pilot programs in three faculties for a significantly reduced cost of tuition.

This scholarship is designed to help African students access higher education and equip them with the necessary skills to succeed. It will provide financial support, access to mentorship, and career development opportunities. It will also provide a platform for students to connect with their peers and mentors.
