The Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program
recognizes academic excellence in graduate studies at the master's and doctoral
levels in all disciplines of academic study. The OGS program at U of T is
jointly funded by the Province of Ontario and the University of Toronto. The
Province of Ontario provides about $30 million towards these scholarships and
eligible institutions provide $15 million.
Value and Duration
The value of the OGS is
$5,000 p
er session.
Thus, awardees may receive $10,000 for two consecutive sessions or $15,000 for
three consecutive sessions. In all instances, the awarding graduate unit will
contribute to one-third the cost of the total award received by the students.
Each scholarship is tenable
for a minimum of one year (i.e., two consecutive or three academic sessions) up
to a maximum of two years (six academic sessions)
. The value and duration of each OGS
award will be determined by the awarding graduate unit and detailed in the
offer letter.
How To Apply
Applicants must submit an OGS
application to their proposed graduate unit using the U of T School of Graduate
Studies centralized online OGS application. Each graduate unit will have their
own internal submission deadline to which applicants must adhere.
Once completed and submitted
online, the entire application will be available to the proposed graduate
unit(s) for review and consideration.
Important note for
prospective students:
Students must submit an OGS application to each institution for which they are
seeking admission. OGS awards are no longer transferrable from one university
to another.
Important note for
visa students:
Applicants holding or will be holding a valid student visa by the graduate
unit’s OGS visa application deadline (or at the graduate unit’s discretion by
April 8, 2016 at the latest) are eligible to apply following the same
application process and internal deadlines set by their current or proposed
graduate unit. Graduate units will select and forward a limited number of
applications to the School of Graduate Studies to compete in a centralized
adjudication
.
Applicants must:
- Be a Canadian
citizen, permanent resident, or protected person. Foreign students who are
studying or plan to study at the University of Toronto under a temporary
resident visa (student study permit) are eligible for a set number of OGS
awards.
- Be registered or
intend to register in an eligible program on a full-time basis in 2016-17.
- An eligible
program is defined as a full-time program of study of two or three
sessions at the University of Toronto leading to a graduate degree. A
full-time student is one who is in at least 60% of a full course load
(40% for students with a permanent disability) or as defined by their
institution.
- Have not
exceeded the lifetime maximum of government-funded support or maximum OGS
support available for their current level of study
(see Maximum Support above).
-
Have achieved at least A- (or equivalent) in each of the last two
completed years of study (full-time equivalent); or
if the student has competed two years of graduate studies at the time of
application, the student must only demonstrate an overall average of at
least A- (or equivalent) on all graduate courses completed.
Note: If marks used for calculating an
applicant's grade point average (GPA) are not available (e.g., courses were
graded on a pass-fail basis), then the next most recent available undergraduate
or graduate marks should be used to determine eligibility.
The
eligibility criteria provided here are the minimum requirements only. Graduate
units may impose additional criteria to apply, receive, or hold an OGS. Please
inquire with your graduate unit regarding any additional requirements or
conditions to those listed here.
