International Student
Open to international undergraduates paying overseas tuition fees. Sri Lankan citizens without Canadian PR or citizenship are eligible.
Outstanding Academics
Sri Lankan A/L 3 As at the indicative floor — typically translated to a 90%+ Canadian average. Stronger A/L profiles or English-medium predicted grades make you more competitive for the larger entrance bundle.
Direct-Entry First Year
You must be entering Queen's as a first-year direct-entry international undergraduate. Transfer students and second-degree applicants are typically not eligible.
Renewal Conditions
Renewable for years 2-4 by maintaining a Queen's cumulative GPA of 2.40 (out of 4.30) — typically a low-second class average in Canadian terms. Drop below this and the scholarship lapses.
