Aim and Benefits of Simon Fraser University Undergraduate Open Scholarship

The value of the scholarship is set by the University as a portion of the actual tuition costs acrrued by those eligible. The per unit rate for standard graded courses will be determined based on the availability of funds. The per unit rate will be set for a value within a range of $70 to $100 each term.

Requirements for Simon Fraser University Undergraduate Open Scholarship Qualification

Eligibility is limited to students enrolled in courses at SFU and pursuing a first degree. It will expire when your total accumulated units (including transfer units) exceed by 10% the minimum number of units required to complete the degree program in which you are enrolled.

For example, if your major program requires 120 units to graduate, you will become ineligible when your total accumulated credit and transfer credit exceeds 131 units.

A student holding an ongoing SFU Entrance Scholarship is not eligible for any other University administered scholarship until the entrance scholarship is fully paid out. This policy applies to any term in which an entrance scholarship is deferred.

TO QUALIFY, YOU MUST HAVE:

• successfully completed at least 30 units of courses at SFU.
• an SFU cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.90 or higher.
• a minimum term GPA of 3.50 in the last term of enrolment.
• been enrolled in one of the last three terms.
• completed at least 30 units of courses at SFU over the last three terms of enrolment in such courses. For students who fall short of the 30 unit requirement because one term’s enrolment was in a single course of five units or fewer, the last four terms will be considered and that term of one course will be set aside in determining unit and term GPA eligibility.
• A student with a disability who is approved to study at a reduced course load must complete at least 30 units of courses at SFU over the last five terms of enrolment in such courses. The student is required to submit a letter from SFU’s Centre for Accessible Learning (CAL) confirming that the student is registered with the Centre (CAL).

All eligibility requirements must be met.
