Quest University Canada Presidential Scholarships

$2,000 to $18,000/year

The Quest program is rigorous, and an important criterion for a scholarship is the applicant’s academic record. This is not evaluated by strict numerical limits, however; we are more impressed by a student who has done well in the most challenging courses available rather than one who achieved the highest grades by choosing an easier route to graduation. We are also interested in extracurricular activities—not the number of different clubs a student joined, but the passion with which they pursued non-academic interests and the impact made on compatriots and community. Some ways that students have demonstrated this is through sports, community service, leadership, theatre, clubs, volunteering, and other expressed talents Quest University Canada Presidential Scholarships are awarded to applicants who have demonstrated an eagerness to learn, an ability to lead, a willingness to contribute, and a passion for excellence. Students must submit their scholarship application within their online Admissions Application. Although optional, it is strongly suggested that students submit reference letters and a resume of personal achievements to support their scholarship application.
