Algoma University is proud to welcome new international students with the International Scholars Degree Award, helping reduce tuition to $15,000 per academic year for new students starting Spring 2026. This award can be combined with our other Entrance Scholarships, including the Chancellor’s Award ($5,000 per year), athletic awards, and a variety of other bursaries and scholarships – some automatic, some by application – providing students with multiple ways to reduce the cost of their education. Our goal is to support students financially as they begin their journey at Algoma University and help them focus on learning and success.
