External Awards, Scholarships, and Bursaries

External scholarships and awards are sponsored by organizations from all around the world, and are open to ALL students, not just those at UPEI. These funding opportunities are sent to us from various government, corporate, and non-profit sector groups in order to be shared with the student body.

Please note that the university does not play a role in the collection or adjudication of applications for these awards, or distribution of funding. We have no responsibility for web content beyond the link included on this page for your review. Best of luck with your search!
