University of Guelph-Humber Merit Scholarships

The $2,500 scholarships were established to recognize outstanding academic achievement by academic program. The scholarships are awarded to full-time University of Guelph-Humber students who have a minimum 80% cumulative average, calculated on the basis of the most recently completed two full-time semesters.

Recipients of the Merit Scholarship will be selected from students placing in the top ten percent (10%) of their program by year, based on credit total, as listed:

• All students who have completed between 4.0 and 5.0 credits will be considered in the Year One cohort of their program for assessment of the merit awards.

• All students who have completed between 9.0 and 10.0 credits will be considered in the Year Two cohort of their program for assessment of the merit awards.

• All students who have completed between 14.00 and 15.00 credits will be considered in the year three cohort of their program for assessment of the Merit Award.

Note: No application is required for the Merit Scholarships. All students will be considered after final grades are recorded in late April. Winners of the Merit Scholarship will be informed in early June.

Note: Graduating students are not eligible for the Merit Scholarships
