Student Awards & Financial Aid

Wilson S.C. Lai Scholarship

Scholarships of $15,000, payable at $5,000 per year for three years, will be awarded to academically outstanding undergraduate students entering the University of Victoria from a Canadian secondary school, college or university, and who have demonstrated financial need. Selection will be based on academic excellence, breadth of interest, and leadership qualities. 

To be automatically renewed a student must have completed a total of 12 or more academic units in any two terms of study between May and April and maintained a grade point average of 7.5/9.0 or higher on the best 12 units.   The scholarship is automatically renewed for each year of the student’s full time study for a maximum of two years.  A student whose grade point average falls below 7.5/9.0 may file a written appeal with the Senate Committee on Awards to seek special consideration for the renewal of the scholarship. 

Students registered in a co-op or work experience work term will automatically be renewed when they next complete 12 or more academic units in two terms, provided they have a grade point average of 7.5/9.0 or higher in the two terms.  Any student who takes either a co-op, work experience work-term, or academic units for more than one term may forfeit their scholarship.
