Approximately $8 million is awarded in scholarships, awards, and financial aid each year. Here are opportunities for you to receive financial support for your education during the 2025-2026 academic year.

 

There are two types of financial aid opportunities. Be sure to fill out the applications for all that apply to you to increase your chances of receiving funding. Please note that it is best to complete these applications on a laptop.

 

 

Please complete this application if you would like to be considered for current student awards and scholarships.

 

The minimum GPA to be considered for awards is 2.0, and 3.50 for scholarships.

 

 

For bursaries, which are need-based financial aid, please be sure to complete:

 

1. the Acadia Student Assistance Program (ASAP) bursary form, and

2. the application for donor funded bursaries. The awards application only needs to be completed once. If you submit it more than once, we will use your most recent application at the time of our review.

 

There is no minimum GPA for donor funded bursaries.

 

For more information about bursaries, please visit the financial aid page.

 

 

On October 2, 2025, between 2pm and 4pm, members of the Scholarships and Financial Aid Team will be in the Alumni Boardroom in Fountain Commons to assist any student who has questions about how to complete the bursary application.

 

If you can't make that session and would like to schedule a meeting, please email financial.aid@acadiau.ca.

 

 

October 20: Deadline to submit your application for funds to be awarded by December 31, 2025

January 31, 2026: Deadline to submit your application for funds to be awarded by March 31, 2026.

 

If you complete an application this fall, you’ll automatically be included in the winter. There is no need to reapply.
