The initial scholarship in academic year 1 is $20,000. The renewal value in academic years 2-4 is $10,000 per year. The total value of the scholarship over four years is $50,000.

Recipients of the Sobey National Innovator Scholarships will be members of a special student and alumni cohort within the University. This cohort will consist of all current and past students and faculty members who are the recipients of financial support from Sobey Family/Foundations and Sobeys Inc. This student and alumni cohort will have special programming, supports, and communication, including an annual event to build a strong sense of community and connection.

In the event that a student does not meet the requirements for renewal of their scholarship, award or other such financial support, he/she will continue to be considered a member of the student and alumni cohort.
