Children of Alumni Scholarship

The Children of Alumni Scholarship was established in 1987 to recognize that the second generation, the children of our alumni, was at hand.

To qualify, at least one of the applicant’s parents, grandparents, or guardians must have graduated, received an honorary degree from Trent University or completed five or more courses at Trent.

Applicants must be entering their first year of undergraduate study at Trent University during the Fall term and should have an entrance average of 80% or higher. The scholarship, valued at approximately $1000, will be awarded to one (1) recipient each year, unless additional funding is available. Incoming students on the Symons and Durham GTA campus are welcome to apply.

The application for incoming Fall 2025 students will open on August 15, 2025.

For students like past recipients Adam '17, Brittany '16, Cassidy '15, and Sharayah '14, the Children of Alumni Scholarship is an opportunity to benefit from Trent’s amazing circle of alumni and to connect with alumni at home.
