Awards and Bursaries for International Students
International House Prize
A prize is awarded to the best all-round graduating student of a diploma program, attending Algonquin College on a student visa. Selection is based on academic achievement and active participation in extracurricular activities within the College community. Apply for the International House Prize.
Celebrating Excellence!
The International student scholarships and leadership award will be issued at the end of each academic year. Six scholarships are given out in recognition of outstanding academic achievement (highest GPA per school) for students who are graduating and one award is issued for outstanding student leadership. Note that the scholarship winners for outstanding achievements need not apply as the winners with the highest overall GPA will be chosen automatically. Please keep us informed about your achievements both academic and personal throughout the upcoming semester. You can send an email to the International Education Centre with your personal and academic accomplishments at iecsupport@algonquincollege.com.
