About this award

You can receive up to $2,586.68. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Industrial Design major who needs extra financial support to complete your studies. You must apply by November 9, 2026. When you apply, ask OCAD University how and when you will hear back — whether it is through email, the portal, or by phone. OCAD University says its bursaries are given out based on financial need and the number of students who apply. Ask OCAD University's financial aid office how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask OCAD University 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 OCAD University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be an Industrial Design major enrolled full-time in any year of the program. You must also demonstrate financial need through OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial and federal government's financial aid system for students).

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, ensure your OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial and federal government's financial aid system for students) application is up to date and accurate. Submit your latest assessment to prove your need.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to access the portal. Instead, log in to the AwardSpring scholarship portal early to ensure your profile is complete. This prevents technical glitches from missing the November 9 deadline.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed grant. Instead, remember that this bursary supports only one student and is disbursed based on the number of people who apply. Apply for multiple bursaries to increase your chances of funding.
