About This Opportunity

The GeniusCash 2026 Scholarship is offered to Canadian students who are enrolled in full-time undergraduate or graduate studies with a minimum GPA of 3.5 or equivalent. The scholarship provides CA$5,000 to help alleviate the financial burden of post-secondary education, which may be used towards tuition, textbooks, and other education-related expenses. The scholarship is open to students dedicated to academic excellence in any field of study. Applicants must be at least in their second year of post-secondary studies at a Canadian university or college, and must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents. The application requires submission of transcripts and a short paragraph explaining which Quest(s) in the GeniusCash app taught them the most about personal finance. GeniusCash, a moneyGenius brand, aims to help the next generation of Canadian leaders build strong personal finance habits while pursuing their educational goals. The scholarship recognizes that students face rising tuition costs, high textbook prices, and increasing living expenses, making financial literacy and support crucial for success. Applications open on November 1, 2025, with a deadline of October 2, 2026.
