- Next Fall 2026 close: October 4, 2026 (IST) for most general awards; the Sheridan Bursary shuts on September 27, 2026 (IST).
Currency Note: All INR conversions use the live rate of 1 CAD = INR 68.24 as of September 2026. Sheridan pays awards in Canadian dollars (CAD, written as C$); INR equivalents move with the daily interbank rate.

| International Entrance Scholarship (1-year certificate) | C$2,000 (INR 1.36 Lakhs) | Year 1, Semester 1 international entry to a 1-year certificate | Automatic on LOA |
| Degree Achievement Award | C$2,000 per year (INR 1.36 Lakhs) | Years 2, 3 and 4 of a Sheridan bachelor’s with a minimum 3.6 GPA (80%) in the preceding year | Automatic on academic review |
| Degree Pathway Award | C$2,500 (INR 1.71 Lakhs) | International transfer entry into Year 2, 3 or 4 of a bachelor’s based on prior postsecondary study | Automatic on transfer credit assessment |
| Sheridan Student Union International Bursary | C$1,000 x 4 awards (INR 68,240 each) | Full-time international; min 2.0 GPA (cert or diploma) or 2.5 GPA (degree); first-term students not eligible | Apply via the SSU AcademicWorks portal |
The Entrance Scholarship pays in two installments across Semester 1 and Semester 2, and the exact value is listed on your Letter of Acceptance so you can plan tuition drafts before landing in Canada. Two programs sit outside the automatic pool: the Bachelor of Animation (PBAAA) and Practical Nursing (PPNSG). Applicants to those two must budget without the Entrance award.
Reddit Insight: Indian applicants who forget the "Semester 1, Year 1" language often assume January-intake transfers still get the full C$5,000 (INR 3.41 Lakhs), but the amount applies only to fresh-start students entering their first semester of a first-year program.

Sheridan College Scholarships for PG / Graduate Certificate Students
Sheridan does not grant master’s degrees. Its postgraduate credential is the Graduate Certificate, a 1-year or 2-year specialist qualification popular with Indian bachelor’s graduates in Business Analytics, Data Analytics, AI, Supply Chain and Human Resources.
| Scholarship | Amount (CAD / INR) | Eligibility | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| International Entrance Scholarship (1-year Graduate Certificate) | C$2,000 (INR 1.36 Lakhs) | International student starting a 1-year Grad Cert (Business Analytics, HR, Digital Marketing and similar) | Automatic on LOA |
| International Entrance Scholarship (2-year Graduate Certificate) | C$3,000 (INR 2.05 Lakhs) | International student starting a 2-year Grad Cert stack (Data Science, Applied AI and similar) | Automatic on LOA |
| Current Student Pathway Scholarship | C$1,000 (INR 68,240) | Existing Sheridan student progressing from one eligible program to a second program (typical diploma to Grad Cert path) | Automatic on Sheridan’s second-application review |
| Program-specific end-of-year awards | Varies by faculty | Top academic performers in specific Graduate Certificate cohorts (Pilon School of Business, FAST faculty) | Faculty nomination; no student application |
Most Indian Graduate Certificate applicants land in the C$2,000 to C$3,000 (INR 1.36 Lakhs to INR 2.05 Lakhs) tier, which offsets roughly one-third of the international tuition premium in Year 1. The Current Student Pathway Scholarship stacks on top when a Sheridan diploma graduate stays for a follow-on Grad Cert, a common route for Ontario applicants targeting a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).
India-Specific Scholarships at Sheridan College
Sheridan does not publish any India-only scholarship. Indian nationals make up the largest single international cohort on campus, so the pathways below act as the practical "India route" into Sheridan funding.
| Route | Amount (CAD / INR) | How Indian Applicants Use It | Close Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| International Entrance Scholarship (Indian applicant) | C$2,000 to C$5,000 (INR 1.36 Lakhs to INR 3.41 Lakhs) | Auto-attached to the LOA once you pay the tuition deposit through the international applicant portal | Rolling with admissions |
| Sheridan Student Union International Bursary | C$1,000 (INR 68,240) | Second-term Indian students apply via the SSU portal; four winners per Fall term | October 4, 2026 (IST) for Fall 2026 |
| Sheridan Bursary (need-based) | Varies by assessment | Indian students file the Student Budget in AcademicWorks; awarded on demonstrated shortfall | September 27, 2026 (IST) for Fall 2026 |
| State-government top-ups from India | INR 1 Lakh to INR 20 Lakhs | Maharashtra Foreign Scholarship, Kerala CM Overseas Scholarship, Gujarat MYSY overseas allowance | Tentative March 31, 2027 across state schemes |
Reddit Insight: Indian students at Sheridan repeatedly flag one process trap: the Student Budget must be completed on AcademicWorks before any bursary opens; applicants who skip the budget step get auto-rejected from the Sheridan Bursary pool even when their GPA and financial profile qualify.
Sheridan College PhD Scholarships
Sheridan is an applied-learning college and does not confer PhD degrees. The section below covers Canadian PhD funding that a Sheridan bachelor’s graduate can eventually access when moving to a PhD-granting university such as Toronto, McMaster, Waterloo or York after further study.
| Scholarship | Amount (CAD / INR) | Eligibility for Ex-Sheridan Indian Graduates | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship | C$50,000 per year for 3 years (INR 34.12 Lakhs per year) | Doctoral admission at a Canadian university after a bachelor’s plus master’s route from Sheridan | Tentative November 4, 2026 (IST) via host university |
| NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship - Doctoral (CGS D) | C$40,000 per year for 3 years (INR 27.30 Lakhs per year) | PhD in natural sciences or engineering at a Canadian university, PR status typically required | Tentative October 15, 2026 (IST) |
| Shastri Canadian Studies Doctoral Research Fellowship | C$1,100 to C$1,300 per month (INR 75,064 to INR 88,712 per month) | Indian PhD scholars whose thesis focuses on Canada; open to graduates who continue research from a Sheridan applied bachelor’s | Tentative January 31, 2027 (IST) |
| Mitacs Accelerate | C$15,000 per 4-month unit (INR 10.24 Lakhs per unit) | PhD or postdoc industry projects with Canadian partner companies | Rolling across the year |
Sheridan bachelor’s graduates who follow the Ontario 4+1 or 4+2 route typically complete a master’s at a partner university before applying to Vanier or CGS D. Applied research placements through Mitacs sometimes bridge that gap when the Sheridan capstone project attracts industry sponsorship.
External Government Scholarships for Sheridan College Applicants
| Scholarship | Amount (CAD / INR) | Who It Fits | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mitacs Globalink Research Internship (via AICTE) | C$12,000 total (INR 8.19 Lakhs) | Indian engineering and technology undergraduates at AICTE-approved institutions; 12-week summer research placement | September 16, 2026 (IST 22:30) |
| Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute Research Student Fellowship | Varies; typically C$2,500 to C$6,000 (INR 1.71 Lakhs to INR 4.09 Lakhs) | Indian students at SICI member institutions with Canada-linked research proposals | Tentative December 15, 2026 (IST) annual cycle |
| Study in Canada Scholarships (Global Affairs Canada) | C$8,200 (INR 5.60 Lakhs) short-term | Indian students at eligible home universities coming to Canada for a semester of coursework or research | Tentative March 24, 2027 (IST) |
| National Overseas Scholarship (Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, India) | Tuition up to USD 15,400 (INR ~12.83 Lakhs) plus USD 15,400 stipend | SC, ST and OBC students holding a Sheridan Grad Cert or bachelor’s admit | Tentative March 31, 2027 (IST) |
| JN Tata Endowment Loan Scholarship | INR 10 Lakhs loan portion plus gift component | Indian graduates heading to Sheridan for a bachelor’s or Graduate Certificate | Tentative March 21, 2027 (IST) |
- Mitacs Globalink is the only listed award that pays out in Canada without needing Sheridan admission first, since it funds a 12-week research placement at a Canadian host university.
- National Overseas Scholarship requires a proof of admission letter, so time your Sheridan application to receive the LOA before the March cutoff.
- JN Tata Endowment covers programs at the diploma level and above, and the loan portion is interest-free during the study period.
Reddit Insight: Indian applicants who plan a Sheridan Graduate Certificate stack the JN Tata Endowment loan with the C$3,000 (INR 2.05 Lakhs) Entrance award and the C$1,000 (INR 68,240) SSU International Bursary to keep the first-year out-of-pocket under C$20,000 (INR 13.65 Lakhs).

Sheridan College Scholarships: Frequently Asked Questions
Ques. 1 What is the maximum funding an Indian student can stack at Sheridan College in Year 1?
Ans. An Indian applicant entering a 4-year bachelor’s can stack the C$5,000 (INR 3.41 Lakhs) Entrance Scholarship, the C$2,500 (INR 1.71 Lakhs) Degree Pathway Award if transferring with prior postsecondary credit, and the C$1,000 (INR 68,240) Sheridan Student Union International Bursary from Semester 2. That takes the Year 1 stack to C$8,500 (INR 5.80 Lakhs), with the C$2,000 (INR 1.36 Lakhs) Degree Achievement Award starting from Year 2 if the student holds a 3.6 GPA (80%). Combined Year 1 potential sits close to C$9,500 (INR 6.48 Lakhs) when the Achievement Award applies.
Ques. 2 When should Indian applicants apply for Sheridan College awards for Fall 2026?
Ans. The Student Budget and Online Award Application opens on August 7, 2026 (IST). The Sheridan Bursary deadline is September 27, 2026 (IST) and every other award, including the Sheridan Student Union International Bursary, closes on October 4, 2026 (IST). The Entrance Scholarship attaches to the LOA automatically as soon as you accept your admission offer and pay the tuition deposit, so its timing tracks your admission decision rather than a fixed cutoff.
Ques. 3 Do I need to submit a separate application for the International Entrance Scholarship?
Ans. No. The award is automatic once you receive your Sheridan Letter of Acceptance and pay the required tuition deposit. The amount, C$2,000 to C$5,000 (INR 1.36 Lakhs to INR 3.41 Lakhs), is written as a line item on the LOA. You must accept the offer per the LOA instructions, register full-time (at least 70% of required credits), and stay enrolled past day 10 of classes to receive the disbursement.
Ques. 4 What GPA do I need for the Sheridan Degree Achievement Award?
Ans. A minimum 3.6 GPA on Sheridan’s 4.0 scale, which maps to roughly 80% in Indian percentage terms. The award pays C$2,000 (INR 1.36 Lakhs) per year in Years 2, 3 and 4 of a bachelor’s degree. Grades from the immediately preceding academic year decide the award, so a strong Year 1 unlocks the payment for Year 2 and the pattern continues each year.
Ques. 5 How does the International Entrance Scholarship actually get paid out?
Ans. The scholarship is split into two equal installments across Semester 1 and Semester 2 of Year 1. Sheridan credits each installment to the student’s account after the day-10 enrollment audit for that semester. For a 4-year degree, that means C$2,500 (INR 1.71 Lakhs) in Semester 1 and C$2,500 (INR 1.71 Lakhs) in Semester 2. Students who withdraw or drop below full-time before the day-10 cutoff forfeit the pending installment.
Ques. 6 Do Sheridan scholarships cover Mississauga or Oakville rent?
Ans. Not fully. Off-campus rent in Mississauga and Oakville runs C$900 to C$1,400 per month (INR 61,416 to INR 95,536) for a shared unit, which is C$10,800 to C$16,800 per year (INR 7.37 Lakhs to INR 11.46 Lakhs). The stacked Sheridan awards in Year 1 typically peak near C$9,500 (INR 6.48 Lakhs), so scholarships offset roughly half to two-thirds of annual accommodation cost. Students usually pair the awards with a 20-hour weekly on-campus job to close the gap.

- Hand on practical learning , You just don't study theories you actually apply them.
- Modern , convenient campus , it feels like a downtown university .
- Diverse and supportive student community
Dislikes
- Slow and Unorganized admistration
- Limited campus life in some locations
- Varied teaching quality , some professors are amazing others just read slides
- I found the accommodation through my friend; she already lives there, but if you don't have family or friends there, my tip will be to start early and use the right tools , online platforms like kijiji, facebook marketplace can really help. You can also join the students whatsapp group for sheridan newcomers; you may face challenges like high demand near campus, fake listings, budget issues, etc. I will recommend you start your search 1-2 months in advance and visit the place (video Tour) before confirming.
