The International
Leader of Tomorrow Award recognizes international undergraduate
students who demonstrate superior academic achievement, leadership skills,
involvement in student affairs and community service, recognized achievement in
fields of endeavour such as the performing arts, sports, debating or creative
writing, or external academic competitions and examinations.
International Leader of Tomorrow Award-winners
receive an award-level commensurate with their financial need as determined by
the costs of their tuition, fees and living costs, minus the financial
contribution the student and their family can make annually towards these
costs. A standard needs-assessment is made, based on financial information
provided by students and their families.
The International Leader of Tomorrow Award can be
renewed for up to three additional years of undergraduate study, or to degree
completion, whichever is less, provided the student achieves satisfactory
academic standing in their faculty, continues to demonstrate financial need,
and maintains their Canadian study permit (visa).
ELIGIBILITY

current school or college/university. To be considered for an International
