Who's eligible to apply for an Outstanding Achievement Scholarship?

The Canada Outstanding Achievement Scholarships will go to the three top-performing applicants who start their undergraduate degree at the University of Birmingham in September 2023. The award can't be deferred, so you'll have to start your program this year to qualify for a scholarship.

Many art and science programs qualify for this scholarship! Please be aware of some exceptions: Medicine and Surgery, Dental Surgery, and Law programs are not eligible. Here's a short list of areas that DO qualify for the Canada Outstanding Achievement Scholarships:

  • Arts and humanities
  • Literature and languages
  • Engineering, physical, and life sciences
  • Health sciences, including nursing
