The University of Gloucestershire is an Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) recognized institution for provincial student funding.
Students admitted to the University of Gloucestershire from Seneca will be eligible to receive relevant International Awards. These awards, and the ruling terms and conditions, are subject to change on an annual basis. Please note that grant awards and scholarships are made as tuition fee discounts, and only one award per student can be granted. For September 2024 entry the applicable awards are as follows. Similar awards are expected to be offered for 2025/26 entry:
Seneca students studying a full University of Gloucestershire (UoG) undergraduate or postgraduate taught course (no Accreditation of Prior Learning [APL]/transfer credit/top-ups), who meet the criteria will be eligible to apply for the International Undergraduate or Postgraduate Scholarship (IUS or IPS). The scholarship requires a separate application. If awarded a scholarship, the student will not then receive any grant award, as only one financial award is permitted per student per degree program. Please see all International Awards, terms and conditions on the University of Gloucestershire website under “Funding” and “International”.
Progression Partner Grant Award: £5,000 is automatically applied against tuition for successful applicants from Seneca applying to transfer on a formally mapped undergraduate progression pathway. Please note that the grant is only available to students who are studying full time at the University of Gloucestershire on campus in the United Kingdom and completing at least one full year/two semesters of study with intention of graduating with an undergraduate degree (not available for distance learning or postgraduate students). Please see other terms and conditions on the University of Gloucestershire website under “International”.
