Convera Scholarship (formerly Western Union Scholarship)

This scholarship was established by a generous donation from Convera who is trusted by more than 800 institutions, including 8 of the top 10 ranked universities globally, to provide easy international payment solutions for students. Whether you are paying for tuition or accommodation, Convera provides a range of international payment options and allows you to pay in your local currency so you know exactly how much the transaction will cost you. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, it will be awarded annually to an international student who is entering their first year of full-time study in any undergraduate degree program at any campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland. Recipients must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the University.

This scholarship is renewable for an additional three (3) years, provided the recipient continues in an undergraduate program and maintains scholarship standing. In the event that the recipient is completing a degree that requires five (5) years of study, then the scholarship can be renewed for a fourth additional year. A new recipient will be selected only when the previous student completes their eligibility. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Assistant Registrar, International Admissions.
