The percentage required for scholarships in Canada varies depending on the university, the type of scholarship, and your chosen program. However, here’s a general overview:

Merit-Based Scholarships

- Most Canadian universities require a minimum of 70%–80% (equivalent to a First Class or Distinction) in your previous academic qualifications to be eligible for merit-based scholarships.
- For highly competitive scholarships (such as entrance or president’s scholarships), you may need 85%–90% and above.
- Some scholarships may consider extracurricular achievements, leadership, and community involvement in addition to academics.

Need-Based Scholarships

- These are based on financial need, but a good academic record (usually above 65%–70%) is generally expected.

Specific Examples

- University of Toronto International Scholar Award: Usually requires above 85% in your last qualifying examination.
- University of British Columbia International Leader of Tomorrow Award: Strong academic record (typically 85% or higher) plus leadership and community service.
- York University Global Leader of Tomorrow Scholarship: Minimum 80% or equivalent.

Additional Points

- For Master’s or PhD programs, a minimum CGPA of 7.0/10 or equivalent (about 70%) is usually required, but top scholarships may require higher.
- English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL) and other achievements can also influence your chances.
