How to apply

Applications are usually made directly to Concordia University (through its admissions or scholarships office), often at the same time as, or shortly after, you apply for admission. In general, the process looks like this: (1) confirm you meet every eligibility criterion, including any nationality, level-of-study or nomination requirement; (2) secure admission to an eligible programme, since most scholarships require an offer or active enrolment; (3) prepare your supporting documents and, if a nomination is needed, contact your school or department early; (4) complete and submit the application before the published deadline, keeping copies of everything; and (5) monitor your email for interview requests, references or verification. Some awards are considered automatically at admission, while others need a separate application — check which applies before you start.

Documents required

Typical supporting documents include: academic transcripts and certificates; proof of English-language proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL or Duolingo); a personal statement, essay or statement of purpose; one or more letters of recommendation; a copy of your passport / identification; proof of admission or enrolment (where required); evidence of financial need (for need-based awards). Requirements differ by award, so use the official checklist as the final word, and prepare documents well ahead of the deadline as some (such as transcripts and reference letters) take time to obtain.
