The York Science Scholars Award will be awarded to domestic and international students admitted to the Faculty of Science. Selection is based on the following criteria: high academic achievement (minimum 80% admission average or equivalent), a demonstrated passion for science and community service, demonstrated leadership skills, a desire to make a difference for their communities and demonstrated involvement beyond academics. For international students requiring the English language test for admission, required scores are as follows: YELT: band 1, TOEFL: iBT 100 and IELTS: 7.5. York Science Scholars will receive a $10,000 entrance scholarship which will be awarded in two parts. The first as an entrance scholarship and the second part once the experiential component is successfully completed. The first $5,000 will be awarded upon full-time enrolment to York University?s Faculty of Science. The second part is linked to the 12-week experiential component of the YSSA program (research placement or mentorship experience), overseen by a Faculty of Science professor during the summer following the recipient?s first year of study. Recipients must achieve a B+ average during the first year of study in order to be eligible for the experiential component. The receipt of the second $5,000 part of the scholarship is contingent upon successful completion of the experiential component and upon enrolment in the following term of study.
