Are you a current international undergraduate degree-seeking student who has an academic year/term average of 80% or higher? If yes, apply for the international in-course scholarship!
The in-course scholarship recognizes academic excellence for continuing international undergraduate degree-seeking students and represents the renewable portion of the Entrance Scholarship that students receive in their first year. The in-course scholarship ranges from $1,500 to $4000 and will be assessed based on the student’s term average of the preceding Academic Year (Fall 2024, Winter 2025 and Summer 2025) instead of the cumulative average.

Participate In A Research Study
International Students' Lived Experience and Resilience During the COVID19 Pandemic
| | |
You are invited to take part in a federally funded SSHRC research study exploring the experiences of international students during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study seeks to understand how the pandemic affected your academics, social life, emotional well-being, and financial situation. It also aims to evaluate how well post-secondary institutions supported international students during this time, helping inform better policies and services.
Participation involves completing a 15-minute online survey. As a token of appreciation, you will be entered into a draw for a $200 prize upon completion. Your involvement is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any point without consequence. All responses will remain confidential and be used solely for research purposes.
This study is open to current international students in Ontario and those enrolled during the pandemic. For questions, contact davidfirang@trentu.ca, alexbruneau@trentu.ca, anthonymensah@trentu.ca, samuelowusu@trentu.ca, or mohammedabdulai@trentu.ca.
