President’s Award for Superior Academic Achievement

This scholarship recognizes superior academic achievement during your secondary school studies.  It awards 100% of tuition in year one and is renewable for up to four years (for a four year degree). This scholarship rewards graduates of Canadian high schools who:

  3. Meet all the deadline requirements (see below).
  4. Enroll in and complete a minimum of 15 credits a term.

A student will be assessed for a Superior Academic Achievement scholarship once official transcripts are received and the five approved academic courses used to evaluate their admission average have been calculated based on their program of study. 

See the Academic Calendar for a list of approved courses.

  • February 1:  Submit a complete Burman Admissions application and receive initial admission.

  • Earn a minimum cumulative GPA for the two terms of 3.90
  • Courses completed in Spring and Summer sessions are not included in the GPA/credit load calculation, but can be covered by the scholarship if renewed.

PLEASE NOTE: 

  • Receiving a full tuition scholarship replaces eligibility for all other Entrance scholarships for the year it is awarded.
  • If the Superior Academic Achievement scholarship is not renewed for any subsequent year, the original entrance scholarships awarded prior to attendance at Burman University and corresponding to the year of eligibility will be applied.
  • Students should apply for all entrance scholarships to allow for second year (or later) awards in the event that the full tuition scholarship is not renewed.
