Financing Information
Scholarship Funding and Financial Support Details
The Global Leader of Tomorrow scholarship is funded and administered by Simon Fraser University as part of its financial aid offerings to international students. The scholarship amount, up to CAD 10,000 annually, is credited directly towards the recipient’s tuition fees, thereby reducing the overall cost of education. It is important to note that this scholarship does not cover ancillary expenses such as accommodation, textbooks, health insurance, or living costs, which remain the responsibility of the student. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years, contingent upon maintaining a satisfactory academic standing and continued demonstration of leadership qualities. Renewal is not automatic; recipients must meet specific academic criteria and may be required to submit progress reports or additional documentation. The funding for this scholarship is subject to availability and may vary depending on the university’s budget allocations each year. Students are advised to consider additional sources of funding or financial planning to cover all educational expenses. Application for the scholarship is typically integrated into the university’s admission process for international students, and no separate application fee is required.

Recipients are encouraged to maintain communication with the university’s financial aid office to stay informed about renewal requirements and any changes in scholarship policies.
