Peterborough, Ontario: Trent University has announced expanded scholarship opportunities for international students, including those from Pakistan, aiming to make Canadian higher education more accessible and affordable. The initiative is expected to benefit academically strong and deserving Pakistani students seeking undergraduate studies in Canada for upcoming intakes.
The university is offering a range of merit-based and renewable scholarships designed to recognize academic excellence, leadership qualities, community engagement, and in some cases, financial need. These scholarships are available to international undergraduate applicants applying for Winter, Summer, and Fall sessions.
Under its entrance scholarship framework, eligible international students are automatically considered for renewable entrance awards based on their final high school academic performance. These awards range between CAD 2,500 and CAD 5,500 per year and may be renewed for up to four years, significantly reducing the overall tuition burden for successful candidates.
In addition to automatic entrance awards, the university also offers prestigious renewable scholarships that require a separate application. These competitive awards are granted to students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, leadership potential, and meaningful community involvement. Some of these scholarships provide substantial funding that can cover a large portion of tuition fees across the duration of the degree program.
Among the academic programs attracting international interest is the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, which provides students with a strong foundation in human behavior, research methods, and applied psychological studies. The program prepares graduates for careers in social services, education, research, and further professional studies.
Applicants from Pakistan must meet the university’s general admission requirements, including academic qualifications and English language proficiency standards. Students must first apply and receive an offer of admission to be considered for most scholarship opportunities.
Education consultants in Pakistan have welcomed the announcement, describing it as a valuable opportunity for talented students seeking internationally recognized qualifications. With Canada remaining a popular destination for higher education, the new scholarship offerings from Trent University are expected to attract increased interest from Pakistani applicants in the 2026 intake cycle.
University officials have reiterated their commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment by supporting international students through meaningful financial assistance and academic resources.
