Athletic Scholarships - The TRU International Student Athletic Scholarship (ISAS) is intended for international students of outstanding sporting ability who demonstrate athletic excellence by qualifying to one of TRU's varsity teams.

Opportunities to study abroad  
TRU's Study Abroad Centre offers an international exchange program that allows students to live and study in a different country for up to a year?and have it count toward their degree. From students who've done the program in the past, we know that just living in a strange, new place is a big part of the experience. Meeting other foreign students, learning a new language, immersing yourself in the culture, exploring the country?all this will be just as important as the learning you'll get out of books and lectures.
