Pathways Scholarships
Algoma University Pathways Scholarships are available to students applying for a degree-completion program, after earning a two or three-year diploma from a Canadian community college. Those transferring from another Canadian university must have completed a minimum of one full time academic year of study.
Only those Algoma U students who are enrolled in and maintain 24 credits or more over two consecutive terms (fall/winter) of study are eligible. Awards are decided using the overall average obtained by the candidate as calculated at the time of admission. Effective January 2018, pathways scholarships will be awarded to college graduates or university transfers who have completed their studies within 12 months of their start term at Algoma University. The scholarship does not apply to students who are beginning a second degree.
Pathways are for students who have not previously been registered at Algoma University.
