Scholarship Eligibility and Conditions

The availability and monetary value of all scholarships are subject to change. U of T Scarborough reserves the right to change the value and eligibility criteria for awards without notice.

U of T Scarborough Entrance Scholarships for Domestic Students are based on the following criteria and conditions:

• U of T Scarborough Entrance Scholarships for Domestic Students are available for domestic students (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) only.
• U of T Scarborough Entrance Scholarships for Domestic Students are based on the scholarship average at the time of admission.
• The scholarship average includes courses used to determine your eligibility for admission.
• Scholarship eligibility will be determined by a student’s admission average, consistency of performance, and any other criteria used to determine admissibility (for example standardized tests and entrance examinations).
• Upgraded marks and marks for courses taken in the summer immediately before your admitted term to the University are not used in the calculation of the scholarship average. Where a course has been repeated, the first grade attained will be used for scholarship average calculation.
• Scholarships will be honoured for students who receive an offer of admission by May 31, 2024 and who accept the offer by the specified offer response date. Students who do not meet these criteria will be considered for scholarships on a case-by-case basis.
• U of T Scarborough reserves the right to withdraw scholarships where the information submitted at the time of admission is found to be inaccurate or incomplete.
• Once attained, the value of your scholarship will not be reduced, provided that you satisfy the conditions of your offer.
• Students must register for the 2024-2025 fall and winter sessions as a full-time student taking at least 3.0 credits by the end of the winter session. A normal full-time course load is 2.5 credits in each of the fall and winter sessions. Students with a documented permanent disability need to maintain a course load of 1.0 credits in each of the fall and winter sessions and will need to self-identify with their counsellor at AccessAbility at the time of course registration. Students who withdraw or substantially reduce their course load without prior approval may be required to repay all or part of the award.

The following conditions apply to the University of Toronto International Scholar Award - University of Toronto Scarborough:

• This scholarship is conditional upon the completion of your secondary school program with high academic standing and fully satisfying the conditions of your offer of admission to the University of Toronto Scarborough, as indicated in your JOIN U of T portal. The University reserves the right to withdraw this award offer if these conditions are not satisfied.
• Payment of the award is conditional on maintaining full-time registration as an international student (i.e. a non-Canadian requiring a study permit and paying international fees) in September of the admission year (or in a different term if granted a deferral) and throughout your undergraduate studies at U of T Scarborough.
• Students will receive payments in terms in which they hold full-time course registration to the maximum number of terms listed below. Co-op work terms are not considered as full-time course registration terms. Should students complete degree studies early, the award payment amount listed below will only be applied to full-time course registration terms.

• International students paying domestic fees are not eligible for this award.
• You must be registered at U of T Scarborough. The award is not transferable to other campuses or faculties.
• The total award value is tenable with other admission awards offered by the University of Toronto, unless otherwise stated. The exception is that it cannot be combined with the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship.
• Students need to have completed at least 1.5 credits by the end of each term (fall/winter) to qualify for renewal of the scholarship. (Note: Students who complete a co-op work term over the fall/winter session are still eligible for renewal once they return to full-time studies.)
• Award renewal is based on your academic performance and full-time study following your first, second and third year of study (and fourth year for students in the BBA/BSc Double Degree in Management & Finance and Statistics—Quantitative Finance Stream). While renewal is not tied to a specific minimum grade point average, we expect that your high academic achievement will continue and that you remain “in good standing” as defined by U of T Scarborough.
• This award may be withdrawn due to unsatisfactory academic performance.
• The award will make a significant contribution towards tuition and other fees, however, students must be able to pay the balance of their expenses. Students will need to develop a realistic financial plan to fund their studies through first year and all subsequent years of their program.
• Scholarship decisions will be communicated to successful applicants before the deadline to accept an offer of admission.
