Scholarships, Awards, and Student Loans

Approximately 80% of our incoming students (both domestic and international) receive an admission scholarship, ranging from $10,000 to $65,000.

In order to be considered for an admissions award, applicants must complete the Scholarships section within the online MBA admission application. There is no separate application for individual consideration. Successful applicants will be notified with their admissions offer prior to the start of the program.

There is also a number of external scholarships and fellowships, as well as other forms of financial assistance available to students across Canada. We encourage students to explore the Student Awards and Scholarships Canada websites for more information.

International students seeking external scholarship opportunities should visit our Financing page for international candidates for more resources and information.
