MEDICAL SCHOLARSHIP FOR CANADIAN CITIZENS

1This $80,000 USD scholarship is awarded to qualified applicants who are Canadian citizens. Dual citizens are not eligible.

HOW TO QUALIFY

This scholarship will be awarded to qualified applicants during the enrollment process, after submission of a completed application to AUC.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

  • Canadian citizenship (Dual citizens are not eligible for the Canadian scholarship.)
  • Incoming first-semester students and transfer students are eligible for this scholarship
  • Hold an undergraduate degree (bachelor’s level)  
  • Applicants must hold an offer of admission to AUC for the scholarship to be awarded
  • If a transfer student is accepted, granted advanced standing, and scholarship-eligible, that student’s maximum award amount is dependent on his/her semester of placement and the lifetime maximum award will be prorated.

AWARD DETAILS

  • $8,000 will be awarded during each of the first 10 semesters of enrollment of the MD program, with a maximum lifetime value of $80,000.

  • In the event the total tuition assessed is less than the scheduled semester award amount of all eligible scholarships, the total semester award is prorated to match total tuition assessed for the term. This does not impact the lifetime maximum of the scholarship, any remaining amount from the award would be carried forward until the lifetime maximum is met.

Previous Canadian Scholarship recipients should refer to their original award letter for award amounts.

 

FIRST-SEMESTER TUITION BACK GUARANTEE

AUC is confident in our students and their ability to successfully transition to the rigorous demands of medical school. We believe in you and your ability to succeed so much so that we’re willing to refund your first-semester tuition if you don’t pass.

 

New, first-time matriculating MD students who complete semester 1, including final exams, and do not advance to semester 2 because they earned a failing grade in a semester 1 courses/modules required for advancement are eligible for the guarantee. Students eligible for the guarantee receive a reimbursement of tuition based on the following formula: tuition assessed minus institutional scholarships or grants received. Please note, only tuition is included in this guarantee, any fees and other expenses and/or charges are excluded.

START SOONER

There is no need to wait to hear back from a US or Canadian medical school.
Any student who is admitted to and enrolled in AUC for the first semester may be eligible for a full refund of the first-semester tuition if he or she is admitted to a United States-based or Canada-based allopathic medical school, or if that student is taken off the waitlist for that US or Canadian school and offered enrollment.

  • The starting semester for which the student is admitted to a United States-based or Canada-based allopathic medical school has not passed.
  • The student has supplied the AUC Office of Student Finance with proof that the student has been admitted to a United States-based or Canada-based allopathic medical school.
  • Such proof is in print or electronic copy of a formal admission letter on official university letterhead.
  • The student has not begun his or her second semester at AUC.

Under the terms of this policy, AUC will refund 100% of the first-semester tuition. All other fees and deposits will be subject to the policy terms noted in the Withdrawal Refund Schedule. Students who withdraw from AUC after the start of the second semester will be subject to the same refund policies noted in the Withdrawal Refund Schedule. Students who withdraw from AUC during their clinical rotations will be subject to any applicable late cancellation fees for the scheduled rotations.

How selective is AUC's admissions process?

At AUC, we have rigorous standards when considering applicants. Yes, we look at the whole person—we want to know about one’s life experience, volunteerism, maturity, and commitment—but we also look closely at how a candidate performed academically as an
undergraduate and their MCAT score.

How can I get my Visa?
How can I get my Visa?

If you are accepted, for a legal extended stay in Sint Maarten, you must have your passport stamped with the appropriate student visa from the Sint Maarten government. The government of Sint Maarten, with AUC’s support to facilitate the internal coordination process, will process the student visa prior to the tourist visa stamp expiration date in your passport (from when you first arrived in Sint Maarten). When you arrive in Sint Maarten, you will need to present your passport. You must show proof of a return date ticket.
