FAQ

As a current U of T student, how can I apply for scholarships?

University of Toronto students have access to over 4,000 in-course scholarships every year. These scholarships are awarded to current students who are excelling in their programs. For example, through the University of Toronto Scholars Program, students completing their first, second or third year of study can receive scholarships of $1,500 each – the University offers 100 of these per level every year. Top students will automatically be considered for most of these awards, but some do require applications.
