Just for International Students at Wilfrid Laurier University

How Laurier supports you with scholarships, housing, and a tuition guarantee.

Choosing a postsecondary education in Canada is a great decision. With over 400 public universities and colleges across the country, you have so many options! How do you narrow it down?

Location, program offerings, program length, and cost are important factors to consider. But if you’re thinking about several different programs or several different locations, what else can help set a school apart?

Wilfrid Laurier University is one of the public universities in Canada, located in southwestern Ontario. Laurier is committed to academic excellence through over 100 undergraduate programs and is ranked in the top 25% of best value universities, so you know you’ll get a high-quality education at affordable tuition rates. But did you know that Laurier also has services and support that are exclusive to international students? Learn more:

Stay Golden at Laurier Entrance Scholarship

The Stay Golden entrance scholarship is based on your final admissions average. You’re automatically assessed for this scholarship, so you don’t have to submit a separate application.

The top value of the scholarship is $6,000 CAD per year and it’s renewable each year if you meet the requirements. That means it could be worth up to $24,000 CAD over your four-year degree!

Stay Golden at Laurier Housing Guarantee

Having a safe, comfortable place to live is important. At Laurier, the Stay Golden housing guarantee ensures you have somewhere to live throughout your studies. In first year, you’re guaranteed a place in residence (just submit the residence application and deposit by the deadline).

And when you live in residence in your first year, you’re eligible for the upper-year housing guarantee, which ensures you have a place to live off campus in a Laurier-managed building.

Inspiring Lives Scholarship

Many scholarships are based on your grades or your admissions average. The Inspiring Lives Scholarship is different, as it’s based on submitting an application that shows how you inspire lives of leadership and purpose. Multiple scholarships are awarded each year and are worth up to $5,000 CAD!

International tuition guarantee

We know that international tuition is expensive. Laurier’s international tuition rates are set each year for new, incoming students but once admitted, we guarantee that tuition rates for continuing international students will increase by no more than 5% between years of study.

These programs and support are available to international students along with the campus-wide student support and experience that Laurier is proud to offer all students. As you continue to narrow down your list of Canadian universities, we hope you have a spot for Wilfrid Laurier University!
