Ontario Graduate Scholarship 2023 Application Update
Ontario Graduate Scholarship is now open for applications from suitably qualified students. It is a fully funded scholarship for all students sponsored by the University of Toronto.
About the Scholarship
The University of Toronto is a public research university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located on the grounds that surround Queen’s Park.
It was founded by royal charter in 1827 as King’s College, the first institution of higher learning in Upper Canada.
The scholarship program at U of T is jointly funded by the Province of Ontario and the University of Toronto.
The Province allocates OGS awards to universities specifying the number of awards that each may offer to their students annually.
The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) program encourages excellence in graduate studies at publicly-assisted universities in Ontario.
Since 1975, the OGS program has been providing merit-based scholarships to Ontario’s best graduate students in all disciplines of academic study.
Benefits of OGS Postgraduate Scholarship
1. The value of the OGS is $5,000 per 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.
2. Each scholarship is tenable for one year (i.e., two consecutive or three academic sessions).
The value and duration of each OGS award will be determined by the awarding graduate unit and detailed in the offer letter.
