Guidelines for SMUFU Scholarships

1. SMUFU Scholarships are available primarily to full-time (5.0) undergraduates in

their final or Honours year, but SMUFU also provides scholarships for graduate

and part-time students at Saint Mary’s University.

2. The SMUFU Scholarship Committee makes every effort to ensure that

students from each faculty receive awards on an annual basis.

3. Normally students need a CQPA of 3.75 or higher to apply.

4. SMUFU gives annual scholarships in a total of $20,000.00 to Saint Mary’s

students. Normally these are distributed in allocations of $2000.00 each, but the

individual amounts can vary according to the discretion of the SMUFU

Scholarship Committee.

5. While these scholarship s are for high academic achievement, the Scholarship

Committee also considers financial need and the granting of other financial

awards by the University. Each student applicant will be required to fill out a

financial statement provided by the Financial Aid Office.

6. The SMUFU Scholarship Committee traditionally has been impressed by

applicants who are completing dual degree programs, double majors, and

broad or unusual choices of courses.

7. Students interested in applying for the SMUFU Scholarships should fill out an

application and a financial needs statement provided by the University’s

Financial Aid Office. They should arrange for two letters of academic reference

to be sent to the Financial Aid Office on their behalf. The application should

include an indication that they are applying for a SMUFU Scholarship.

8. All decisions of the SMUFU Scholarship Committee are final.
