UPEI Student Adversity Entrance Scholarship

The UPEI Student Adversity Entrance Scholarship is granted to international students entering the University of Prince Edward Island from a Prince Edward Island high school who have experienced unexpected hardship in the past year that has greatly impacted their personal circumstances and capacity to study at the University. Eligible hardships include economic, financial, political, societal, family or personal events beyond the student's control. Candidates must be graduates of PEI high schools who do not qualify for Canadian Permanent Resident status and are from war zones as defined by the University based on internationally recognized lists of war-torn countries. The scholarship is renewable over students' second, third, and fourth year of study provided they remain in good academic standing throughout their studies while carrying a minimum full-time course load of 18 semester hours over the academic year. The intention of the scholarship is to offset international fees for eligible students in good academic standing pursuing full-time studies. All student information provided in applications will remain strictly confidential and recipients of this scholarship will not be publicized or promoted in any manner.
