This scholarship is an early acceptance scholarship, which means that scholarships are awarded based on students’ early admission average and guaranteed at the time students receive early acceptance into Memorial. The amount of the award is guaranteed; it will remain the same regardless of whether a student’s final admission average is lower or higher than their early admission average. Early admission average is calculated using the average of the best grades earned in a mathematics course, a science course, and an English course at the Level 2 (Grade 11) or Level 3 (Grade 12) level and is completed by the end of Level 2 (Grade 11). If a student completes both a Level 2 and a Level 3 course in the same area, the higher of the two grades is used to calculate the average. If a student completes more than one science course, the highest grade is used to calculate the average. Science 1206 is treated as a Level two course for the purpose of computing the average. For domestic students, the Transforming Our Horizons Entrance Scholarship will be offered until Saturday, March 1, 2025.
Memorial also offers a number of named entrance scholarships that are based on final admission average. Students who qualify for a named entrance scholarship may have their Transforming Our Horizons Entrance Scholarship replaced by that named scholarship.
