About this award

You can receive up to $3,245.53. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a senior student specializing in Drawing & Painting who needs extra financial support to finish your degree. You must apply by November 9, 2026. When you apply, ask OCAD University how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. 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.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be an Ontario resident and a Drawing & Painting major currently enrolled at OCAD University. You must also be in your 4th year of study.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your expenses. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your remaining tuition and living costs. List your specific monthly gaps to show why this funding is needed.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the November deadline to check your portal access. Instead, log into the AwardSpring scholarship portal now to ensure your profile is complete. This prevents technical glitches from delaying your submission.
• RealismAvoid assuming the full amount is guaranteed. Instead, remember that disbursement depends on your financial need and the total number of students who apply. Plan your budget with the understanding that the final amount may vary.
