It’s our goal to help you find the resources you need to pay for tuition and reach your goals.
Scholarship opportunities within the University
City University in Canada is committed to providing accessible and inclusive education for all with the desire to learn.
CityU in Canada currently offers two types of scholarships for students studying in Canada, based on financial need or academic achievement. Applications are required for each application period to be considered. These awards range from $500 up to $2500 per quarter for eligible recipients and are directly posted on the student’s account, thus reducing tuition by the amount awarded. Students must be enrolled to receive the award and meet other eligibility criteria.
We are also pleased to offer a Scholarship for all Canadian First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students enrolled in any City University in Canada degree-granting program.
