Tadeusz Specht Memorial Entrance Scholarship in Science and Health Sciences - awarded Fall 2022 onward

Payment One:

To receive the first payment, you must:

  • have final grades that meet the academic requirements to maintain admission to your primary program of study for the Fall term; and
  • be enrolled in a minimum of 12 SFU standard graded units.

Entrance Scholarship recipients whose admission evaluation on final grades does not demonstrate a minimum score of 90% in courses required for their primary program or 31 IB points (excluding predicted bonus points) will be contacted by the Financial Aid and Awards office for additional requirements. 

If you enroll in 3 to 11 SFU standard graded units in your first term, your scholarship will automatically be deferred to the next term. To be eligible for your first payment in the following term, you must meet the renewal cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00 on your first term marks and enroll in at least 12 SFU standard graded units in the following term. You will become ineligible for entrance scholarship funding if you do not attain a minimum 2.00 CGPA in your first term.

Payment Two:

To receive the second payment, you must:

  • achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.00 at the end of your first term; and
  • be enrolled in a minimum of 12 SFU standard graded units. 

Payments Three and Four:

To receive the third and fourth payment, you must:

  • have a minimum CGPA of 3.00; and
  • be enrolled in a minimum of 12 SFU standard graded units per term.

The term tenure for the Tadeusz Specht Memorial Entrance Scholarship in Science and Health Sciences is nine terms (three years). That is, the payments must be claimed within nine terms of starting your studies at SFU.

During the terms when you meet the CGPA requirements and do not register in classes, or register in less than 12 SFU standard graded units, your entrance scholarship will be deferred to a future term when you meet eligibility criteria again. Please note, your CGPA for all SFU units (even in the terms you did not receive a payment) will be reviewed when assessing your eligibility for your future entrance scholarship payments.

If your CGPA is less than 2.00, your scholarship will be permanently cancelled.

If your CGPA is 2.00-2.99, you will not be eligible for scholarship payments. Once your CGPA reaches 3.00 or higher while within the term tenure of your scholarship, your scholarship payments will resume.
