Thompson Rivers University International Diversity Award

The Thompson Rivers University International Diversity Award is an automatic tuition credit for new international undergraduate students from countries under-represented at TRU. It is awarded to applicants who meet academic or English-language benchmarks and enroll full-time in an undergraduate degree, diploma or certificate. The award amount is set by the university each intake and is applied to the student's tuition account alongside other entrance awards. The award is assessed at the time of admission and does not require a separate scholarship application.

Tuition credit applied to the student's account; can be combined with TRU's other automatic entrance awards (e.g., Academic Excellence Award, Exceptional Student Award); access to paid co-op terms and part-time work during study and PGWP pathway after graduation.

New, full-time international students admitted to undergraduate degree, diploma or certificate programs who hold citizenship of a country with five or fewer students currently enrolled at TRU and who meet one of: minimum 3.0 GPA (or equivalent), IELTS 6.5 overall, or TOEFL iBT 88, plus TRU's program-specific admission requirements.

Apply for undergraduate admission through TRU's international application portal, submit transcripts, passport copy and proof of English proficiency, pay the application fee; TRU assesses country representation and automatically adds the award to the admission offer if criteria are met.
