Studying in Canada is on average less expensive than study in the USA, the United Kingdom, or Australia, and by studying at Trent you will benefit from tuition fees that are much less expensive than many universities in Canada.

Trent also provides more funding for scholarships and bursaries than any other undergraduate university in Canada. Our generous Global Citizen and United World College Scholarship programs reward entering international students who demonstrate academic excellence and a strong record of leadership in their schools and home communities. Our International Awards program can also assist qualified students who demonstrate financial need.

Apart from scholarships, there are several ways to fund your education at Trent. International students are now permitted to work off-campus in Canada after one year of study. All international students can work for up to twenty hours a week on campus, in areas like athletics, conferences, food services, in the library, and as research assistants.
