"Queen's University provides millions of dollars annually in student financial assistance in either or both merit based (scholarship) or need-based (bursary) situations. Queen's also distributes more than $1 million dollars to student-athletes given that they have met both the academic and athletic requirements. The University's major academic awards along with programs like SWEP, OSAP, and the work study program are other on-campus opportunities for additional financial support.
Each season Queen's University Athletics & Recreation honours its top student-athletes with
Major Athletic Awards. These awards are presented annually during the
Colour Awards Athletics & Recreation Banquet which first began in 1936.
Queen's guarantees
residence to all first year full-time students and each residence offers a variety of
meal plan options from all you can eat to pay as you go. Once a sophomore, 95% of students live within five kilometres of campus making walking and biking the most popular forms of transportation. Your student card is also a bus pass within the community although the city centre is literally steps away and you are close enough to walk to much of what Kingston has to offer.
Queen's University is located in
Kingston, Ontario, Canada - a quintessential university community big enough to provide all the conveniences of modern life, but small enough for students, staff and faculty to feel instantly comfortable and at home. For more than a century-and-a-half, the stories of Queen's and Kingston have been inextricably entwined.
