About this scholarship

Canadian citizens and permanent residents registered full-time at the University of Guelph who have completed a minimum of 4.0 credits and no more than 6.5 credits are eligible. Applicants need demonstrated financial need, a minimum 70% cumulative average in the previous academic year, and a history of sustained community involvement through meaningful service to others.

Two awards of $20,000 per year are payable over three years of study. Students must remain registered full-time to receive all payments. The award cannot be held with the President's or Lincoln Alexander Chancellor's Scholarships.

Apply by October 7 with a completed Financial Need Assessment Form and the Heaslip Undergraduate Award application. Selection weighs financial need and community involvement equally.

Created by Bill and Nona Heaslip through the William and Nona Heaslip Foundation to help students focus on community service rather than full-time work.
