Faculty-wide Awards
About Awards
Faculty-wide awards are available to registered students from all OISE departments, provided the eligibility criteria outlined in the award description are met. Departmental awards are exclusive to students registered in a program in the respective department. For questions about faculty-wide awards, please contact oise.financialaid@utoronto.ca. For a question about a departmental award, please contact your department's award officer.
Posting Schedule
Awards are posted throughout the academic year. Each award typically follows an annual posting and deadline schedule, which can be found in the award description.
Financial Need-based Awards
Students interested in financial need-based awards must first apply for provincial/territorial government financial aid before they can be considered. If you are ineligible for provincial/territorial student aid, you must indicate so in your financial need assessment form and upload proof of ineligibility. Please include the reason(s) for ineligibility as determined by your province/territory.

Applicants selected for an award will be notified via email.
