Lester B Pearson Scholarship 2026 in Canada (Fully Funded)

Offered by University of Toronto

Closed 7 Nov 2025

Fully funded scholarship from University of Toronto in Canada. Check the deadline and eligibility on the official page before applying.

A scholarship offered by University of Toronto in Canada.

The organiser describes this as fully funded. On this site that means tuition and accommodation are recorded as covered; flights are left as not stated until we have confirmed them, because they vary between programmes that use the same phrase. This is aimed at applicants at Bachelor's level.

Before you apply

Open the official page and confirm three things: that the deadline still stands, that you meet the eligibility criteria as they are written there, and what documents you will need. Applications fail more often on a missing document than on a weak candidate.

Every detail here is checked against the organisation's own page, and that page is the authority: deadlines move, eligibility is rewritten, and programmes are withdrawn without announcement. Confirm before you apply.

How to apply

Three steps in a fixed order, each with its own deadline. Your school must nominate you first; you then apply to the University of Toronto for admission; only once both are done can you complete the Pearson scholarship application itself.

Missing the school nomination deadline ends the process — the university cannot accept a Pearson application without it, however strong the candidate.

What you will need

  • School nomination
  • University of Toronto admission application
  • Online Pearson scholarship application
  • Transcripts
  • Evidence of leadership and creativity

Eligibility notes

For international students entering a first-entry undergraduate programme. Around 37 scholars are named each year.
