Canadian Scholarships
This series of scholarships are for Canadian students only and represent the President's desire to reward Canadian Nationals that have sound academic performance and to provide a measure of financial support.
This scholarship is designed to support students from Canada with significantly unfavorable currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. U.S. dual citizens are not eligible for the CAEAS. This scholarship also recognizes students who have demonstrated strong academic preparation for medical school. This scholarship is available for new MD1 students starting September 2025 and moving forward.
Scholarship Amounts:
- $3,000 per basic science term (for up to 5 terms)
- $1,500 per clinical term (for up to 5 terms)
Eligibility & Conditions:
Eligibility requires a minimum grade of B or higher in each term. Remediation courses or terms are not eligible for scholarship funding. However, students who remediate and return to satisfactory academic standing will have the scholarship reinstated for subsequent terms.
Important Notes:
Scholarship Combinations: Students with the CAEAS or EAS may combine their scholarship with the Trinity Award for Excellence and applicable grants.
Vincentian scholarships cannot be combined with the Excellence in Action scholarships. However, Vincentian scholarship recipients may still qualify for the Trinity Award for Excellence and certain partial grants.
Premed Pathway Students: All students matriculating into the MD program from our Premedical pathway who hold Canadian citizenship will be automatically considered for the CAEAS, provided they meet eligibility criteria.
For full details and to confirm eligibility, please contact the Admissions Office.

Federal and Provincial Student Loans for Canadian Students
As of May 28, 2018, Trinity School of Medicine is listed as a Designated Educational Institution by the Canadian Government (code ZUCF). Canadian citizens may now obtain federal and provincial student loans to aid in the cost of attending Trinity. Trinity is an approved educational institution outside of Canada, meaning tuition and fees are tax deductible.
Trinity School of Medicine is also approved for all provincial and territorial loan programs, except Quebec (solely because Quebec does not provide provincial loans for international schools).
For students who still need to pursue a private loan option beyond federal and provincial funding, we are proud to offer the additional options below.
