About this award

You can receive up to $5,000 per student for this award. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. Note that OCAD University bursaries generally range in value from $500 to $5,000, and the final amount you get is disbursed based on your financial need and the number of students who apply. This is for you if you are a fourth-year student specializing in jewellery design within your degree. 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 a phone call. 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.
