Dean's Honour List
The Dean's Honour List (DHL) carries no monetary reward, but is an official University recognition of the student's achievements and is recorded on the transcript. This distinction is conferred upon no more than the top 10% of students. Continuing students are named to the list based on the combined GPAs for the Fall and Winter terms. Graduating students are named to a separate list based on cumulative GPA.
The Dean's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research List
The Dean's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research List (DMURL) recognizes B.Sc. students who have participated in substantial and broad undergraduate research. Consult the program website for requirements and details.
Enriched Educational Opportunities Bursaries
Enriched Educational Opportunities (EEOs) are officially recognized experiential learning activities that foster personal and professional development. The EEO Bursaries Program provides non-repayable financial assistance to ensure all students, including those in Science, can fully participate regardless of financial need—learn more about eligibility and recognized opportunities for Science students on the Faculty's EEO website.
Global Designation (B.Sc.)
The Faculty of Science B.Sc. Global Designation is a graduation distinction recognizing B.Sc. students who enhance their degree with language learning, independent research, and global experiences. Learn more about the academic and experiential requirements to qualify for this designation on the B.Sc. Global Designation program website.
Financial assistance for current students
While awards are granted on the basis of academic merit, bursaries (grants) and repayable loans are granted on the basis of financial need and are administered by the Scholarships and Student Aid Office. Students apply through Â鶹AV Student Aid. There are also work study opportunities available.
