Former Grenfell campus student Gabrielle Hughes, recipient of the Arthur M. Sullivan, is currently studying at University of Oxford as Newfoundland and Labrador’s Rhodes Scholar.

Once you’ve decided that Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland, is where you want to study, we can help you finance it.

Extraordinary students are recognized through the delivery of over $2 million in scholarship funds to new and returning students each year. Memorial University, Atlantic Canada’s largest comprehensive university, awards over $75,000 in entrance scholarships alone.

While academic success is a critical part of scholarship criteria, Grenfell’s scholarships recognize much more than grades. For example, the Leslie Thoms award is given to an undergraduate student of graduating class who has shown the most positive, outstanding leadership in student affairs and activities.

Applications are not necessary for most Memorial scholarships; they are awarded automatically based on academics and recommendations from faculty.

Offering scholarships, while providing the lowest tuition rate in Canada, Grenfell ensures a quality education at a great value.

Grenfell Campus, located in Corner Brook on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland, offers liberal arts and science degree programs with a focus on fine arts and the environment. With just 1,300 students, Grenfell prides itself its personal, close-knit community. Located in beautiful Corner Brook, NL, Grenfell is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise with caving, kayaking, downhill skiing and zip-lining just minutes away. All this, low tuition and great scholarship opportunities, Grenfell really is in a league of its own.
