Columbia College is starting off 2026 by offering an Entrance Scholarship to students beginning in May 2026.

This C$3,000 Early Entrance Scholarship is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so early applications and deposits will be key. This scholarship pairs well with Columbia College’s core strengths—

• excellent student support,
• small class sizes,
• cost-effective tuition,
• and a proven transfer pathways across Canada.

Students must:

• Have applied for May 2026 (Summer)
• Pay tuition deposit by February 27, 2026
• Scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Scholarships can only be deferred for a maximum of one semester.

As another effort to improve equity and access to education for youth, Columbia College is pleased to announce the new Emerging Region Bursary. Many regions around the world face ongoing uncertainty and structural barriers to equitable access to higher education. These funds will be targeted to youth from diverse regions where the impact of educational opportunities are emerging. Successful recipients should have a demonstrated commitment to academic success and be new applicants to Columbia College. A select number of bursaries are available for specific regions each year, dependent on available funding and the College’s commitment to equitable access to education.

Amount: $2000

Scholarships are awarded primarily on the basis of academic performance in the previous semester, with consideration also given to involvement in College and community activities, as well as a personal essay. Eight scholarships are awarded to students studying at the University Transfer/Associate Degree level, and the other two scholarships, including the Gerry Brown Memorial Scholarship, are awarded to two students in the Secondary Program.
