Automatic Admission Scholarships
No application is required for these awards. Recipients of these scholarships will be selected automatically based on academic achievement alone. By applying for admission to Queen's all eligible applicants are automatically considered for a grades-based admission scholarship. Some automatic admission scholarships are renewable, and have specific conditions a student must meet in order to renew their award. We also offer additional automatic admission awards to international students.

Final Grade 12 level courses will always be used in the calculation of the awards average.
