Changes to our scholarships<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U of T Scholars Program<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

The U of T National Scholarship Program<\/a> is open for applications from domestic high school students in Canada. Students who have been nominated by their schools as National Book Award<\/a> recipients may submit applications to the National Scholarship Program. The deadline for the National Book Award and the National Scholarship Program is November 4.<\/p>\n

Finally, this year the university has introduced the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship<\/strong>. This scholarship recognizes top international students from around the world, including those living in Canada. Please visit pearson.utoronto.ca<\/a> for more information about how you can nominate a student to become a Pearson Scholar.<\/p>\n

Please visit future.utoronto.ca\/finances<\/a> for more information about fees, financial aid, and our scholarship programs.<\/p>\n
