About this award

You can receive $2,000 a year. Over four years that can add up to $8,000 if you keep renewing it. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This award is for you if you are starting first year full-time at the University of Ottawa's Telfer School of Management, you were admitted with an average of 75% or more, and you need financial help. Apply by March 31, 2027 through the Online Scholarship and Bursaries portal in uoZone, and include the Financial Questionnaire. At least two scholarships are given each year. Financial need is assessed by the University of Ottawa's Financial Aid and Awards Service. Ask the University of Ottawa 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. To keep it, you must reapply each year, still meet all the criteria and maintain a 7.0 CGPA. Interrupting your studies, switching to part-time, or registering as a non-degree student ends the scholarship for the rest of your studies.

Who qualifies

You must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident, or a person with protected/refugee status. You must be enrolled full-time in first year and admitted to the Telfer School of Management with an average of 75% or more. You must meet the Ontario residency requirements under OSAP rules and show financial need, as assessed by the University of Ottawa's Financial Aid and Awards Service.

Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid rushing the Financial Questionnaire. Instead, complete it carefully in the Online Scholarship and Bursaries portal in uoZone, since your financial need is part of what decides this award.
• SupportAvoid guessing about Ontario residency. Instead, check the OSAP residency rules, or email loansandawards@uottawa.ca before the March 31 deadline if you are unsure you qualify.
• RealismAvoid counting on this award from grades alone, since financial need is also required. Instead, treat it as one part of a broader financial plan. Apply for multiple smaller bursaries alongside this one to secure your full funding.
