Hello Everyone,
Just a reminder that THIS Wednesday, October 4th we are hosting the Canadian University Event (CUE) from 9am till 10:45am.
The South Gym will be bustling with OVER FIFTY different Canadian Universities!
This is a great opportunity for students to have a chance to:
Starting May 8th, our admissions office will start to receive grade information from the B.C. Ministry of Education through the Student Transcript Service (STS).
Ministry grade information will be used to confirm admission offers that have been issued on self-reported grades. We will review ministry grade information in May and August to ensure students continue to meet admission requirements.
What does this mean for students?
Students whose offers are confirmed on interim ministry grade information will not be contacted until we review their final transcript in August. The SFU admissions office will contact students who have missing and/or have a course discrepancy between their self-reported and ministry grade information.
Missing and/or a discrepancy in grade information SFU receives from the ministry may be the result of a student having dropped or added a course, or a school not having reported grades to the ministry of education.
If you are a young British Columbian who has made a difference in your community, we want to hear from you! The Trevor Linden Community Spirit Scholarship rewards students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities and exemplary contributions and commitment to enriching the lives of others in the community.
The Trevor Linden Community Spirit Scholarship recognizes four student leaders in the province of British Columbia who are entering their first year of post secondary education, are in good academic standing and have made exceptional contributions in the following areas:
Taking the time to do something for others during difficult times in one's own life requires particularly outstanding commitment. This is why, as part of the selection process, the personal circumstances and/or challenges of each applicant will be considered. Applicants who possess personal qualities such as dedication, commitment to helping others and strength of character will also be considered.
Each applicant is reviewed and scholarship recipients are chosen based on who most closely meets the selection criteria from various regions in British Columbia (provided there are suitable, qualified applicants). A total of four scholarships will be awarded to high school students who have the academic skills to successfully enter and complete post secondary education on a full-time basis. Scholarship recipients will be notified prior to the end of June.
Please submit your application by May 1st 5:00pm, 2023
