Humber Polytechnic in Toronto offers a family of entrance awards for international students starting in 2027. Most are automatic — the President's International Entrance Award (CAD 2,000) and automatic Bachelor's Degree Scholarships (up to CAD 4,000, renewable) require no separate application, while BComm entrants in Winter 2027 also receive the CAD 10,000 Senior Dean's Award. Each intake (January, May, September 2027) has its own offer-acceptance and study-permit dates that act as the real deadlines.
Why it is notable: There is no separate scholarship form for the headline awards — admission plus meeting the intake dates is the application. The older "one student per country" merit scholarship no longer appears on Humber's official page; the current system is the President's Award plus automatic GPA-based degree scholarships.
Funding at a glance
What it covers
President's International Entrance Award: CAD 2,000 bursary credited to the student account (applied over the first two semesters at CAD 1,000 per semester per the award terms; any overpayment rolls to the next semester's fees).
Senior Dean's Bachelor of Commerce Award (Winter 2027 only): CAD 10,000 total, disbursed as CAD 2,500 per semester across the first four semesters; stackable with the merit-based entrance scholarships; no separate application.
International Onshore Scholarship: CAD 1,000 one-time credit (disbursed after the 10th day of classes); first-come, first-served if eligible applications exceed funding.
Degree Transfer Scholarships (automatic): one-time CAD 1,500 (one-year Ontario college certificate) or CAD 2,500 (two-/three-year diploma), GPA 80%+.
This scholarship family is offered for Bachelor's degrees (automatic degree scholarships), and for diploma, advanced diploma, and graduate certificate programmes (President's International Entrance Award, Onshore Scholarship).
Who can apply
All nationalities — international students paying international tuition. The President's Award is for students applying from outside Canada without a Humber DLI study permit; the Onshore Scholarship is for international applicants already living in Canada.

Do I need to submit a separate application for Humber's entrance scholarships?
No — the President's International Entrance Award, the automatic Bachelor's Degree Scholarships, the Senior Dean's BComm Award, and the International Onshore Scholarship are all granted on the basis of admission and meeting the intake conditions. There is no separate scholarship form.
How does the President's International Entrance Award reach me?
It is a $2,000 bursary credited to your MyHumber account after the 10th day of classes (applied over the first two semesters); any overpayment is automatically applied to the next semester's fees. It is non-refundable and granted only once per student.
Can the Senior Dean's Bachelor of Commerce Award be combined with other scholarships?
Yes — the official page states it is available to new international BComm students "in addition to Humber's merit-based entrance scholarships."
What happens if I don't meet the conditions?
The award is revoked if the conditions (offer acceptance by the intake date, IRCC study-permit filing by the intake date, deposit/fee payment, full-time enrolment past day 10, no fee refund) are not met.
Are the Bachelor's Degree Scholarships renewable?
The $2,000, $3,000, $3,500, and $4,000 bands are renewable each year if the student achieves 80% or above in each year of the Bachelor's degree. The $1,500 band is one-time only.
I'm already living in Canada. Which award applies to me?
The $1,000 International Onshore Scholarship (one-time), for international applicants already in Canada starting in Winter, Summer, or Fall 2027 — awarded first-come, first-served if eligible applications exceed funding.
Can international tuition status change affect my scholarship?
Yes — international entrance scholarships/awards apply to students paying international tuition rates only; Humber reserves the right to revoke the scholarship if the tuition category changes to domestic.
Need document or attestation help?
Detailed attestation guidance stays in Opplore's standalone Guides section, not inside this scholarship page.
