Sohcahtoa Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship 2026/2027
Eligibility
- Currently enrolled as an undergraduate student
- Able to demonstrate financial need
- A reasonable academic record
- Willingness to participate in the mentorship component, not just receive the funding
Who is not eligible: applicants who have already completed their degree. This round is for undergraduates only.
What you need to apply
- Completed application form
- Proof of current enrolment
- Any supporting documents requested on the official page, such as identification or academic records
Position yourself
If you do not qualify this time, study what the Foundation asks for: financial need, academic consistency, and willingness to engage with mentorship. Those three things are worth building regardless of this specific scholarship. You may not qualify for this one. You can still qualify for the next one.
What to do if you are not eligible
If you have already graduated, look for graduate focused funding instead of trying to fit an undergraduate scholarship. If you are an undergraduate but missed this deadline, set a reminder to check the Foundation's page again next cycle, and keep your academic record and supporting documents ready.
Benefits
- Financial support toward your education
- Ongoing mentorship, not a one time payment

How to apply

Application tip
When asked to demonstrate financial need, be specific and honest rather than vague. A clear, honest account of your situation stands out far more than broad claims about hardship.
