You can receive up to approximately $15,400 over four years of study. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you show academic merit and strong leadership potential and are admitted to the Rotman Commerce category. You apply by completing U of T's Awards Profile, which opens in the Join U of T applicant portal after you apply to U of T. The Awards Profile deadline is typically in early February — check the portal for this year's exact date. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. The award looks at academic merit and strong leadership potential — ask University of Toronto (Rotman Commerce) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Toronto (Rotman Commerce) during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of Toronto (Rotman Commerce) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You must be a domestic student, which means you are a Canadian citizen, an Indigenous person recognized as First Nations (status or non-status), Métis or Inuit, a permanent resident, a protected person (convention refugee), or someone approved "in-principle" for permanent resident status in Canada. You must also be a full-time student admitted to the Rotman Commerce category who demonstrates academic merit and strong leadership potential. To submit the Awards Profile, you must be in your final year of high school.
