Scholarships

Established in 1987, the Sagewood Award was created to encourage entrepreneurship. This annual award of $2000 is designed to encourage entrepreneurship among Bachelor of Commerce students who have completed at least two full years. Its intent is to fund a business start-up and selection will be based on the assessed viability of the student's proposed business, demonstrated commitment and the ability to execute.

The Glube Entrepreneurial Fellowship Fund will provide for a fellowship of $2,500 for students wishing to pursue entrepreneurship related activity. The fellowship is available to students entering their third or fourth year of either the Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Management program. Students will be required to undertake an entrepreneurial internship under the direction of the Centre.

Scholarships-in-course are open to returning students who have demonstrated academic excellence in their course of studies. Candidates should submit the following to the Awards Officer: a completed scholarship application form, a letter of academic reference, and a brief overview of educational background, academic awards and accomplishments.

St. Thomas University's scholarship programme is one of the reasons it is able to maintain a community of exceptional scholars and dynamic leaders. More than half of first-year students hold an entrance scholarship, and one in nine holds a renewable scholarship ranging in value from $8,000 to $50,000. Here are four ways our scholarships work for you:

Export Development Canada (EDC) created the International Business Scholarships because International trade is critical to Canada's economic prosperity and EDC is dedicated to helping the next generation of business leaders succeed.

The Career Development Partnership Initiative is a joint project between the Department of Human Resources, Labour and Employment and the Department of Education. This partnership responds to an identified need in the school system and a commitment by both departments to strengthen and support career development in Newfoundland and Labrador’s K-12 school system.

The scholarship program was established in the name of distinguished Mi'kmaq Islander John James Sark in September 2009. He earned a post-secondary education at St. Dunstan's University, and was the Island's first Mi'kmaq teacher.
