About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted for this award, as the value varies. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. Contact University of Toronto Mississauga to confirm the specific value for this year before you apply. This is for you if you are a newly admitted student who has spent significant time volunteering in your community and participating in extra-curricular activities. The official page lists an application deadline of October 9, 2026, but does not say how to apply. Ask the UTM Student Recruitment & Admissions Office (uoft.me/askutm or 905-828-5400) for the application before that date. Winners are chosen on extensive extra-curricular and community volunteer involvement, with academic merit and financial need also considered. Only one award is given. Ask University of Toronto Mississauga 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 Mississauga whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
