Scholarship worth, benefits, and duration:
Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award is valued according to your financial need. The total of tuition, fees, and living costs is subtracted from the financial contribution you and your family can make each year to assess financial need. The financial information you and your family supply is used to create a standard needs assessment.
If you maintain satisfactory academic standing in your faculty, continue to demonstrate financial need, and maintain your Canadian study permit, your award may be renewed for up to three further years of undergraduate study or until you complete your degree — whichever comes first (student visa).
