Nami Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Do Canadian and US universities give scholarships for IB credits, like for certain points you get different scholarships? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jeeves Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 From what I've seen, that appears to be much more common in Canada than here. I don't think I've ever seen a scholarship for specific point levels in the US - usually, you get credit for a course or, in some colleges, you can get second-year standing with a certain total of points [usually 36].I'll let someone else explain further about Canada, but there's nothing really for the US.

r1111 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yes you can get a certain amount of entrance scholarship from some Canadian universities depending on your overall IB grades. I can confirm this from experience however I do not know about the US. Just do a google search on "scholarships + your university name" and you will usually find more information, especially for the Canadian universities since they some o them do give scholarships based on IB grades.

by.andrew Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Here is apparently a list of schools that offer IB scholarships:http://georgetowndistricthighschool.com/ibsite/pdf/Universities%20that%20offer.pdfHowever, as a domestic applicant, I have never heard of some schools (notably McMasters, Waterloo, Toronto, McGill) offering IB scholarships although they are on the list. Most of the IB scholarships are available in Alberta and BC, but very few if not any Ontario schools offer IB exclusive scholarships to students.

Thrashmaster Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Here is apparently a list of schools that offer IB scholarships: http://georgetowndistricthighschool.com/ibsite/pdf/Universities%20that%20offer.pdf However, as a domestic applicant, I have never heard of some schools (notably McMasters, Waterloo, Toronto, McGill) offering IB scholarships although they are on the list. Most of the IB scholarships are available in Alberta and BC, but very few if not any Ontario schools offer IB exclusive scholarships to students. That list is very old. "Albertson College of Idaho," the first US college on that list, isn't even called that anymore. In 2007 it changed its name to "The College of Idaho." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertson_College But, I suppose there probably hasn't been too many changes from the list since then... Well, if there's on you're interested in, check with them beforehand. I'm sure admissions officers would love to hear from a committed IB student anyway Edited April 9, 2014 by Thrashmaster Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
