GPA Based Scholarships for current secondary school students completing a Canadian secondary school diploma
Self-Reporting your Grade 12 marks
Self-reporting grade 12 marks will permit UVic to automatically consider you for a marks based entrance scholarship.
To be considered for GPA based scholarships students must self-report their Grade 12 marks between February 01 - March 31st. International baccalaureate students, studying at a Canadian secondary school can self-report their IB marks on the self-reporting site as well. No separate application is required.
- Secondary school entrance students with an admission average of 85% or higher will be guaranteed a $1,000 entrance scholarship
- All self-reported grades will be verified against offical grades from your school
- If a student does not self-report their grade 12 marks, he/she will not be considered for any GPA based scholarships at a later date.
- Please do not enter 100% as a self-reported mark, unless it can be verified by a teacher, counsellor, or principal
*As early scholarship offers are based on self-reported marks, we will be reviewing final marks in August before finalizing the scholarship.
Canadian citizens outside of Canada:
Canadian citizens who are attending secondary school outside of Canada (at a recognized secondary school) cannot self-report their marks and must send in an interim grade 12 transcript to Student Awards & Financial Aid by March 31st to be assessed for any GPA based scholarships. Students in the International Baccalaureate Program need to send in predicted marks to be assessed for an IB scholarship. Transcripts sent after the deadline will not be eligible for GPA based scholarships.
*Transcripts sent to Undergraduate Admissions are not automatically forwarded to Student Awards & Financial Aid. It is the student's responsibility to ensure transcripts are sent to Student Awards & Financial Aid.
