Up to a $7,000 Entrance Scholarship for Applicants to the ELI and a Full-Time Program*

You are eligible if you are a new international applicant either currently in or outside Canada who is applying to an ELI in-person or online program and a post-secondary program, and confirm your offer of admission between June 1, 2025 and August 31, 2025.

You will automatically receive the $2,000 tuition credit once you confirm your offer to ELI.

The tuition credit is valid for all levels of Seneca’s ELI program, both in person and online, when you begin classes between July 2025 and May 2026.

The tuition credit is valid for a maximum of $2,000 total or four ELI levels.

The subsequent entrance scholarship of up to $5,000 is valid for all ELI students who continue to an available full-time postsecondary program starting in September 2025, January 2026, May 2026, or September 2026.

You automatically qualify for the tuition credit if you meet the eligibility criteria.

Here is what you need to do:

• Apply to an in-person ELI program and a full-time professional program through our International Web Application between June 1, 2025 and August 31, 2025. (You will pay the $90 CAD application fee when you apply, and the amount will be credited to your student account once you're accepted)
• To study ELI online, please email eli@senecapolytechnic.ca after you apply with the subject line “Applying to ELI Online” and our team will get back to you.

• Pay your fees by the due date in the fee notice to secure your spot.
• Complete any remaining steps to enrol at Seneca.

You will automatically receive the $2,000 ELI tuition credit once you confirm your offer.

The credit will be deposited directly to your Student Home account as a lump sum.

After successfully completing your ELI program, you will automatically become eligible for the subsequent entrance scholarship up to $5,000 if you enroll in a full time post-secondary program. The amount of the tuition credit will be based on the number of years of your post-secondary program.

• One-year program - $2,000
• Two-year program - $3,000 ($2,000 in year one, $1,000 in year two)
• Three-year program - $4,000 ($2,000 in year one, $1,000 in years two and three)
• Four-year program - $5,000 ($2,000 in year one, $1,000 in years two, three and four)

The entrance scholarship is credited to your Student Home each year. Your first installment of $2,000 will be deposited after day 10 of the “starting term”. Any remaining installments that you may be eligible for, based on length of the program, will be deposited after Day 10 of each subsequent year of the program, where relevant.

The ELI entrance scholarship is non-refundable. If this award results in an overpayment of fees, the excess funds will be automatically applied to the fees for the next semester.

This is a limited time promotion for confirmed offers received between June 1, 2025 and August 31, 2025 and is not retroactive.
