Yes, there are a variety of scholarships, bursaries and awards made available to students each year.  In course Scholarships are awarded to students automatically who have achieved academic excellence in their previous year of study in their program.

Other Awards are also available to students based on varying criteria such as personal excellence (or a combination of academic and personal); community involvement; or leadership. Often, these awards also take financial need into consideration.

Bursaries are awarded based on financial need. Occasionally, there may be other requirements for qualification.

Students must be in good academic standing to receive a bursary or other award.

*Scholarships, bursaries and awards do not need to be repaid, they do need to be declared on your OSAP application, unless you have been notified otherwise
