The Lester B. Pearson International Student Scholarships University of Toronto in Canada

0

The Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships at the University of Toronto provide an unparalleled opportunity for outstanding international students to study at one of the world’s best universities in one of the world’s most multicultural cities. The scholarship program is intended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and creativity and who are recognized as leaders within their school. A special emphasis is placed on the impact the student has had on the life of their school and community, and their future potential to contribute positively to the global community.

Awarded annually, these scholarships recognize outstanding students from around the world, including international students studying at Canadian high schools. This is U of T’s most prestigious and competitive scholarship for international students. The Lester B. Pearson International Scholarships will cover tuition, books, incidental fees, and full residence support for four years. The scholarship is tenable only at the University of Toronto for first-entry, undergraduate programs. Each year approximately 37 students will be named Lester B. Pearson Scholars.

Notice

The University of Toronto has been alerted to fraudulent emails that offer to assist students with applications to our Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship program. Please exercise caution when researching scholarship opportunities and assessing communications about our programs. The University of Toronto does not work with recruitment agents or agencies. Students interested in applying for a Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship should follow the instructions on this website and submit their applications directly to the University.

Apply

To become a Pearson Scholar, you must be nominated by your school and apply to undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto. Ask your school guidance counsellor about being nominated. Once you’ve been nominated and have applied to the University of Toronto, you will be sent a personalized, secure link to the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship application.

Pearson Scholars are students who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement and creativity, who are accepted as leaders within their school, and who have the potential to contribute to the global community in the future. They can be distinguished from other students who may have equally high academic results by virtue of their breadth of interest, intellectual energy and impact 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

  1. Receive a nomination from your school (High schools not already contacted/verified are asked to submit an application to participate in our program, available here.)
  2. Apply to study at the University of Toronto to begin your studies in 2022 and complete your application for admission by the appropriate deadlines.  Please be advised that you will be considered for the Pearson Scholarship for your first choice of program at U of T.  You may apply for several programs and may receive admission to them all; however, the Pearson Scholarship, if awarded to you, would be restricted to your first choice of program at U of T at the time our scholarship decisions are made.
  3. Once we’ve received a nomination and you’ve applied to the university, you can complete the online Lester B. Pearson Scholarship application.

Carving out a varied and thrilling career, you’ll be privy to the types of opportunities that will elevate your potential exponentially – and with hotels in more than 120 countries, there really is no saying what the future holds for you.




The role

As a member of our Rooms Operation team, you’ll develop a first-hand knowledge of the guest experience from first contact through to check-out and beyond. Combining discipline-specific training with a leadership-focussed curriculum, you’ll learn in one of our hotels, not a classroom. Benefitting from mini rotations across the team, you’ll have access to our senior leaders and coaches, getting a first-hand understanding of how we set international standards for excellence. And with industry-leading support via customised technology plus social collaboration tools allowing you to network with colleagues globally, you’ll always have someone to bounce ideas off.

The remit

With an overall focus on delivering a consistently incredible guest experience, we’ll share our encyclopaedic knowledge of what makes our guests return to us time and time again. Immersing you in this fascinating world from your very first day, you’ll form part of the supervisory team, developing an insider knowledge of front office, guest relations, reception and housekeeping. From the specifics of managing each shift and room inventory management through to guest metric improvement projects, payroll, team recruitment and motivation, we’ll provide you with the expertise you need to take on a senior-level role with us once you’ve completed the programme.

What you’ll bring

A passion for learning and a willingness to get stuck-in are at the top of our ‘must-have’ list. You’ll also champion innovation, and you’ll be quick to come up with creative solutions to problems that might not have an obvious answer. Ready to share initiatives and ideas via your Voyage project, you’ll be keen to take on special projects that will make the most of your new skills. On a practical level, you will have graduated from a university or hotel school within the last year, or you will be due to graduate before September 2021. You will also have the right to work in Rwanda, and you will have exceptional written and verbal communication skills. As a team-player who is highly organised, it would be beneficial if you have previous experience of working within a hospitality environment.

What you’ll get in return

This is a valuable chance to not just take on a job that you enjoy, but a career that you will love. We know that our success stems from our employees, so we’re committed to ensuring that every member of our team finds their natural place with us. As such, we’ll support you with ongoing training and development opportunities, and a benefits package that is second to none, including travel perks, pay day rewards and associate appreciation week.
