York University offers a variety of scholarships and awards that recognize academic excellence, resilience, and community leadership. Scholarships and awards for international students are limited, and you should be prepared to support yourself throughout your studies at York.
Awards that do not require an application are noted with “no award application required“—you are automatically considered for them.
For awards requiring an application, complete and submit the International Student Scholarship & Award Application form by January 27, 2027 at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
ELIGIBILITY:
You are a high school applicant if:
You are less than 21 years old by the end of the calendar year in which you are admitted to the University (e.g. applicants admitted for a Fall term must be less than 21 years old by December 31 of that calendar year); and
You have been out of full-time high school studies for less than two years from your high school graduation date; and
You have not attempted studies at an accredited college or university.
All undergraduate international students are required to pay the $2,000 non-refundable acceptance deposit regardless of scholarship status.
To maintain scholarship eligibility, students must have: a) accepted their offer of admission by the deadline indicated in their offer letter, b) have satisfied all outstanding admission conditions within 30 days of the start of the applicable term, and c) be enrolled full-time in a York University undergraduate program.
International entrance scholarships/awards are applicable to students paying international tuition rates only; York reserves the right to revoke or discontinue the scholarship if the recipient’s tuition category changes to domestic.
Scholarship offers will be automatically deferred for applicants who defer their admission to the Winter 2027. Applicants who elect to defer their admission beyond the 2026-2027 academic year, will be subject to the scholarship program in effect at the new point of admission.
The President’s International Scholarship of Excellence cannot be held in conjunction with the York International Scholarship of Distinction International, the York International Merit Award International, the York International Merit Award International and the York International Transfer Award International.
