| Description: | Granted to International students entering UPEI from a Prince Edward Island high school who have experienced unexpected hardship (e.g., economic, financial, political, societal, family or personal events beyond the student's control) in the past year that has greatly impacted their personal circumstances and capacity to study at the University. Eligible candidates must be students who: a) are graduates of PEI high schools; b) do not qualify for Canadian Permanent Resident status; and c) are from war zones as defined by the University based on internationally recognized lists of war-torn countries (i.e., United Nations, Global Affairs). The scholarship is renewable over students second, third, and fourth year of study provided they remain in good academic throughout their studies while carrying a minimum full-time course load of 18 semester hours over the academic year (September to May). Typically, this corresponds to a minimum of 3 courses (9 semester hours of credit) in each semester (Fall and Winter). 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. |
