Schulich Engineering Scholarships Details and Criteria

Are You Eligible? 

In previous years, the talent and academic strength of short-listed applicants has been tremendous. A team of professors and students gather at the Schulich School of Engineering to face the daunting task of interviewing top candidates in February.

Profiles vary, but successful Community Service / Entrepreneurial High School Award winners have combinations of:

  • Athletic excellence - at a school, provincial or national level
  • Musical talent - achievements in their instrument and musical leadership
  • Volunteerism - organizing school, community or city events and activities
  • Service - church, school or civic leadership
  • Entrepreneurism - business development, marketing and growth
  • And more!

Although the focus of the Community Service / Entrepreneurial High School Awards is not academics, it comes as no surprise that many of the winning students are typically top of their class.

When selecting the Academic Excellence Awards, students are ranked against one another based on academic achievement. Oftentimes, several international baccalaureate and advanced placement students rise to the top. Winning students' marks are consistently within the high 90 percent range.


The Schulich School of Engineering offers the largest engineering scholarships in Canada for entering students - $34,200 to $56,800.
