I'm looking into Douglas College and I'm an international student. Are there any specific scholarships available for international students? I'd like to know about eligibility and deadlines.
Yes, Douglas College offers scholarships specifically for international students. They're primarily awarded based on academic merit, community involvement, and demonstrated leadership skills.
The first scholarship to note is the "International Education Scholarship of Distinction." This scholarship is given to the top two academic performers amongst all international students enrolled in their first two semesters at the college, with awards granted in both fall and winter. It's important to note that no application is required for this scholarship; successful students are automatically considered based on their academic standing.
Another option is the Principal’s International Student Entrance Scholarships. These scholarships are available to international students applying from a high school outside of Canada. Applicants need to submit a statement (max 500 words) expressing their passion for their chosen program of study and how it will help them achieve their career goals and aspirations.
Deadlines for these scholarships may vary and are usually tied with the admission application deadlines. I suggest you get in contact with the Office of Financial Aid at Douglas College. They can provide the most current and accurate deadline information as well as any other scholarships that may be available. This should aid you in planning and preparing your scholarship applications on time. Good luck with your scholarship search!
