University: York University – Glendon Campus
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Study level: Undergraduate / Bachelor's
Intake: Fall 2027

💰 What Does It Cover?
The published Glendon information lists the scholarship at:

Renewable for up to 4 years of full-time undergraduate study

This is financial assistance toward your education, not a full-ride scholarship. International students should still budget for tuition, accommodation, meals, health insurance, books and other living expenses. Glendon's current international guide estimates total annual undergraduate costs at about CAD $56,237, although costs vary by program and year.

Applicants need an overall academic average of approximately 80% or higher (York Factor 8), or an equivalent under their educational system. Eligible admitted students are automatically considered.
Applicants must also meet York University's admission requirements for their chosen Glendon undergraduate program.

📝 How to Apply
Step 1: Choose an eligible undergraduate program at Glendon.
Step 2: Submit your York University/Glendon admission application.
Step 3: Submit the required academic documents and meet the program's admission and language requirements.
Step 4: For the Glendon International Excellence Scholarship, eligible admitted students are automatically considered based on their academic standing.
For Fall 2027, York currently lists March 24, 2027 as the general international undergraduate application deadline for most programs, although applicants are encouraged to apply earlier to allow enough time for study-permit processing.
📅 Scholarship Deadline
Important: I could not verify a separately published 2027 GIES scholarship deadline on the current official Glendon scholarship page.
Older Glendon materials used deadlines around February 1/February 15 for international scholarship applications, but you should not use those older dates as the confirmed 2027 deadline.
⚠️ Important: Is It Fully Funded?
❌ No — the Glendon International Excellence Scholarship is not fully funded.
The current published value is CAD $40,000 over four years, while international tuition and living expenses can be substantially higher.
However, Glendon notes that entrance scholarships can be combined with other York awards, with strong international students potentially receiving up to CAD $20,000 per year from combined entrance scholarships and awards, depending on eligibility.
