To be eligible, a secondary school must follow the provincial/territorial syllabus and award the secondary school diploma. The school must offer senior level secondary courses according to the provincial/territorial requirements. Currently, the final year of secondary school is secondary V in Quebec; completion of 30 credits resulting in an OSSD in ontario; completion of 28 credits in Manitoba resulting in a secondary school diploma; and Grade 12 in all other provinces and territories.

A Bronze medal is awarded to the student who achieves the highest average upon graduation from a secondary school.

The average includes all grade 11 and grade 12 courses as listed on the student's official Transcript of Grades issued by the Ministry of Education. The average cannot be anticipated; it must be calculated based on final results after provincial/territorial examinations, where the Ministry of Education requires final exams.
