President's Scholarship of Distinction (95% or Higher)

Eligibility

• Your admission average will be calculated based on grades available in early May using your top 6 Grade 12 courses or equivalents, including each of the required courses for the program(s) to which you’ve applied.
• If you receive an Offer of Admission to more than one program, your admission average may qualify you for a President's Scholarship in one program but not another because your admission average must include required courses, which vary from program to program.
• If your early May admission average is below 85% but your final admission average is 85% or higher, you will be awarded the appropriate President’s Scholarship. You'll be notified after we've received final grades in July.
• To receive the full value of the scholarship, you must remain enrolled in full-time degree studies at Waterloo for the full 4-month fall term.

Note: This scholarship program pertains to admission to the University of Waterloo only and is not applicable at Renison University College or St. Jerome’s University, who offer their own scholarships.
