Yes, the scholarship percentage is closely linked to the strength of your academic profile.

Canadian universities typically award scholarships based on your admission average (academic grades). For example:
- 95%+ admission average: Higher scholarship amounts (e.g., $7,500 at some universities)
- 90 - 94.9% average: Slightly lower amounts (e.g., $6,500)
- Some universities offer larger, renewable scholarships for sustained high performance.

While academic performance is the main factor, some scholarships may also consider leadership, community involvement, or extracurricular activities. Maintaining a strong academic record and engaging in relevant activities can increase your chances of receiving a higher scholarship percentage.
