University of Regina Chancellor's Scholarship

We are pleased to offer a new scholarship at the University of Regina for academically high-achieving domestic students.

Beginning in Fall 2024, the Chancellor’s Scholarship will be awarded annually to 14 undergraduate students who meet a variety of criteria, including a minimum admission average of 95%. This scholarship is being offered to students directly from high school, or high school graduates who have not completed any post-secondary course (other than those completed while the student was still in high school, such as the High School Accelerated Program).

The recipients will receive $10,000 a year over four years, plus on-campus housing for the first year. The value of each scholarship is just over $46,000. One award is reserved for Indigenous applicants and one award is reserved for out-of-province applicants.
