About this award

Rotman Commerce's current page and terms don't state the amount; its 2017 terms listed the value as $10,000, so confirm the current value with Rotman Commerce (rc.admissions@utoronto.ca). As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is starting your undergraduate studies at Rotman Commerce and has a strong interest in business leadership and free enterprise. Eligible admitted students are invited to apply in the spring. No specific date or time zone is posted publicly — before you start the application, check University of Toronto (Rotman Commerce)'s program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. You should also ask how and when you will hear back about your application. Preference goes to a candidate with strong academic and business leadership potential who values the opportunities of the free enterprise system. Ask Rotman Commerce roughly how many students apply so you can judge your odds. The scholarship is applied to any fees you owe on your student account, and anything left over is deposited into your Canadian bank account. The offer depends on finishing high school with high academic standing and meeting the conditions of your admission offer, and payment depends on full-time registration in Rotman Commerce. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of Toronto (Rotman Commerce) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and a full-time undergraduate student entering the Rotman Commerce program. Preference will be given to a candidate who exhibits strong academic and business leadership potential and who values the opportunities presented by the free enterprise system.

Tips for applying

  • LeadershipAvoid just listing your titles or roles. Instead, describe a specific time you led a project or team to a goal. Give a concrete example of your business leadership in action.
  • Free enterpriseAvoid treating the free enterprise preference as a throwaway line. Instead, be ready to explain how business and the free enterprise system fit into your goals, since preference goes to candidates who value it.
  • StrategyAvoid ignoring the broader University of Toronto awards. Instead, set up your Awards Profile on the JOIN U of T (Join University of Toronto) portal immediately after you apply to the university to ensure you are considered for all available funding.
  • RealismAvoid assuming this is an automatic award. Instead, remember that while some admission awards are automatic, this specific scholarship requires you to be invited to apply in the spring.
