Engineering Undergraduate Award

What you will need

• ✓ Ontario Tech's Tuition Bursary and Donor Award application (one application considers you for all donor awards; it opens in August for each new academic year)

About this award

You can receive a $500 award. Nine awards of $500 are available. As an award, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an engineering student who needs extra financial support to stay focused on your studies. You don't apply for this award on its own: Ontario Tech considers you for all of its donor awards when you complete one Tuition Bursary and Donor Award application, which opens in August for each new academic year. No closing date is posted on the award's page — check with Ontario Tech's Student Awards and Financial Aid office for this year's deadline. Beyond financial need and good academic standing, selection criteria aren't published — ask Ontario Tech University how winners are chosen. Results are sent to your student email address. Ask Ontario Tech 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 Ontario Tech University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
