Why the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)?
- Island life: Calm and safe; fun and inviting; hospitable, vibrant, and historic. Beaches, world-class cuisine, and major concerts just minutes away from pastoral farms and the Confederation trail. Downtown Charlottetown is only a 20-minute walk away from campus and has the best of a small city packed with the best of urban life. And, the ocean is never more than a 15-minute drive from the ocean.
- Academics: UPEI offers undergraduate programs in Arts, Business, Education, Engineering, Mathematical and Computational Sciences, Nursing, Science, and Veterinary Medicine, and a growing number of graduate programs supported by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Whatever a student's passion and whatever their goals, UPEI has what they need to carve their niche.
- Experiential Education: The UPEI Co-op Program is an integrated approach to university education which enables students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. The success of such programs is founded on the principle that students are able to apply theoretical knowledge from course studies in the workplace and return to the classroom with practical workplace experience.
The “Celebrating Student Achievement” scholarship program provides for two new award offerings:
-
Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships for students entering UPEI directly from high school in the student’s graduating year
-
Academic Excellence Awards for any UPEI undergraduate students who meet the grade scale criteria during their second, third, and fourth years.
There are four levels of awards, from $500 CAD –$3000 CAD per year, based on a student’s average from the previous year. These new awards enhance UPEI’s current awards program.
