Fully Funded Undergraduate Scholarships in Canada are available for International Students at the University of Toronto for bachelor’s degrees.

We are willing to help you achieve your dreams by providing a fully funded undergraduate scholarship in Canada.

The University of Toronto, the University of Manitoba, and a few other Canadian Universities are offering International admission undergraduate scholarships to pursue bachelor’s degrees in Canada. This scholarship program enables international students an opportunity to pursue higher education at the University of Toronto and the University of Manitoba with ease. The University of Toronto and University of Manitoba scholarships are open to all international students.

Do you know any secondary school students currently in their final year or who will be writing WAEC in 2022? Do you know a promising young student making an impact in their community?

I just saw a full undergraduate scholarship in Canada. It’ll cover tuition, books, incidental fees, & accommodation for 4yrs. If you have someone in high school (or graduated last year) with good O’level results, please inform them.

The aim of these undergraduate scholarships in Canada is to help as many high-achieving potential students from developing countries get access to a quality higher education that they otherwise couldn’t afford. The scholarships will be awarded to outstanding individuals who need financial support and help them achieve their ambition of studying at a university outside their home country. Scholarships will be awarded to the best applications identified by the selection committee out of all the applications submitted in response to each annual call for applications. We will give special consideration to applicants who have not had the opportunity to study abroad due to financial constraints or other similar circumstances.

Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships for Undergraduate Students in Canada

Apply for the “Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships” for undergraduates in Canada. This scholarship is usually awarded annually, this scholarship provides full funding for outstanding international students with exceptional academic achievements to study at the University of Toronto for up to 4years.

Coverage The scholarship will cover tuition, books, incidental fees & accommodation for 4yrs. It’s only tenable at the University of Toronto for first-entry undergraduates. Slots available This is a global scholarship. Each year, about 37 students will be selected.

In 2021, 2 were selected from Nigeria and less than 10 from Africa.

Note: This scholarship for students resuming by FALL 2023, with applications starting later this year. Students resuming this year have already applied.

Scholarship Eligibility

This is an annual scholarship & that requires students to be;

• an international student.

• currently in your final year of secondary school or have graduated no earlier than June 2022 (for FALL 2023 resumption)- I picked this date from last year’s cycle.

For the last application period, June 2021 was stated for FALL 2022 resumption; I am assuming the same will apply this year (again, that is my calculation, I do not work for them).

• Starting your studies (for the first time) at the University of Toronto in September 2023

The step-by-step application process for Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships

To apply, you must be nominated by your home school & then apply to your preferred undergraduate program at the University of Toronto. For nomination, you need to ask your school counselor about being nominated.

Once you’ve been nominated by your school and have applied to the University of Toronto for admission, you will be invited using a personalized, secure link to apply for the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship application.

To recap the application process,

1. You need to receive a nomination from your home school (once the application opens, you should send this link to your school to contact UofT and request verification to nominate you- www3.adm.utoronto.ca/Pearson/school

2. Apply to study at the UofT future.utoronto.ca/apply/applying/ to begin your studies in 2023 & complete your application for admission by your program deadline.

N.B – you can apply for multiple programs at UofT, but you will only be considered (for the Scholarship) for your first choice of program at U of T. 3. Once they receive your nomination and you’ve applied to the university, you will be invited to complete the online Lester B. Pearson Scholarship application.

Scholarship Deadlines (predicted for FALL 2023)

Nomination deadline: Nov 30, 2022

Student OUAC application deadline: Dec 14, 2022 (I encourage you to apply a month in advance, some programs may close earlier than the normal deadline)

Scholarship application deadline: Jan 17, 2023

Again, please note – no application fee for this scholarship. The only fee you may need to pay is school admission (I’m not aware of a waiver). So, while you are waiting for the scholarship to start for the next app period, please write your WAEC exam & start volunteering.

If you want, you can write the exam again to be competitive. Admission to UofT is HIGHLY competitive. The profile of usually admitted students is mostly all A’s students. So, please let your result be straight A’s (or write A-level if they accept it).

Nominations usually start around September. So, inform your High school to get prepared to nominate you by that time. Each school can only nominate one student per scholarship round- so your school must be sure they’re nominating the best.

I hope I have explained everything, please feel free to ask questions. Forward it to high school students and let them benefit. The scholarship’s official website is- future.utoronto.ca/pearson/about/
