Changes to our scholarships
The U of T Scholars Program, for which students are automatically considered, has been increased from $6,000 to $7,500 for students starting in September 2017. We have discontinued the President's Entrance Scholarship Program which has allowed for the increased U of T Scholars Award. For scholarship consideration, the university does not include repeated marks; the grade achieved from the first attempt in a course will be used.
The U of T National Scholarship Program is open for applications from domestic high school students in Canada. Students who have been nominated by their schools as National Book Award recipients may submit applications to the National Scholarship Program. The deadline for the National Book Award and the National Scholarship Program is November 4.
Finally, this year the university has introduced the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship. This scholarship recognizes top international students from around the world, including those living in Canada. Please visit pearson.utoronto.ca for more information about how you can nominate a student to become a Pearson Scholar.
