Ontario Graduate Scholarship for International Students at University of Toronto 2023
Deadline: 1st of June, 2023
The School of Graduate Studies at the University of Toronto is presently accepting applications for the Ontario Graduate Scholarship for International Students who desire to enroll in a degree program for the 2023–2024 academic session.
The University of Toronto and the Province of Ontario collaborate to fund the university’s scholarship program. The Province distributes OGS awards to universities, indicating the maximum number of awards that each institution may annually grant to its students.
The OGS is worth $5,000 per session. As a result, recipients are eligible to win $10,000 for two consecutive sessions or $15,000 for three consecutive sessions. In every case, the awarding graduate unit will pay for a third of the total prize that the students get.
Each scholarship has a one-year term (i.e., two consecutive or three academic sessions). The graduate unit awarding the OGS will specify the value and duration of each award in the offer letter.
At Ontario’s publicly supported universities, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) program promotes excellence in graduate studies. The OGS program has offered merit-based scholarships to the top graduate students in all academic fields from Ontario since 1975.
