To become a Pearson Scholar, you must be chosen by your school and apply to student studies at the University of Toronto. Ask your school guidance counsellor about being selected. Once you’ve been selected and have applied to the University of Toronto, you will be sent a tailored, secure link to the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship application.
Pearson Scholars are students who have demonstrated extraordinary academic accomplishment and creativity, who are recognised as leaders within their school, and who have the prospective to contribute to the global community in the coming years. They can be notable from other students that have high academic results by virtue of their breadth of interest, intellectual energy and influence on the life of their school and community.

- an international student (i.e. a non-Canadian requiring a study permit);
- currently in your final year of secondary school or have graduated no earlier than June 2021
- beginning your studies at the University of Toronto in September 2022 (students already attending post-secondary studies cannot be considered; students starting their studies in January 2022 at another post-secondary institution cannot be considered)
