President's Entrance Award for Scholar Athletes

Top academic student-athletes recruited by Vancouver Island University Mariner varsity programs may receive one of six entrance awards when starting their first year at VIU.

Eligible students must be completing grade 12 with an A average of 85% or higher, with no mark below a B in each of eight defined academic courses across grades 11 and 12. Awards are renewable for the duration of undergraduate studies at VIU, up to completion of a first certificate, diploma, or degree (maximum 120 credits), provided recipients maintain a semester and cumulative GPA of 3.50 with at least an 80% course load each semester.

Students are nominated by VIU's Athletic Department rather than applying directly.
