About this award

You can receive approximately $1,100. As this is a scholarship, not a loan, you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an international student with strong academic merit who has been accepted into the specialized Computer Science stream. There is no separate application: you are considered automatically when you apply to the Faculty of Arts & Science and are admitted to the Computer Science admission category. Selection is automatic based on your academic merit and the results of your supplementary application for the Computer Science category — ask University of Toronto (Faculty of Arts & Science) how many of these awards are given out each year so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Toronto (Faculty of Arts & Science) 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 (Faculty of Arts & Science) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be an international student who demonstrates academic merit. You must also be admitted to the Computer Science admission category, which means you have successfully completed the supplementary application required to enter that specific category.

Tips for applying

Academic MeritAvoid focusing only on your final grades. Instead, ensure your supplementary application for the Computer Science category highlights your specific technical strengths. Review your submission to ensure it meets all category-specific prompts.
SupportAvoid assuming the admission office has all your latest documents. Instead, double-check that your most recent transcripts were uploaded to the OUAC (Ontario Universities' Application Centre — the central system used to apply to Ontario universities). Contact the admissions office to confirm receipt.
StrategyAvoid waiting for a separate scholarship application form. Instead, focus on maximizing the quality of your initial admission and supplementary application, as this award is granted automatically.
RealismAvoid counting on this money until you receive your official offer of admission. Instead, look for other international student grants while you wait for the University of Toronto (Faculty of Arts & Science) to notify you of any automatic awards.
