About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted. This is for you if you are a domestic student who relies on provincial financial aid to afford your education. You will be notified and see the bursary posted to your student account in late September 2026. No deadline is posted publicly for the bursary itself because it is automatic, but you must meet the OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial government's financial aid system) and tuition deposit deadlines to qualify. For Fall 2026 those deadlines have passed (the last was August 24, 2026), and Sheridan has not posted dates for a later round yet. Selection is automatic based on your financial need and enrollment status; you do not need to submit a separate application. Ask Sheridan College how many students typically receive this bursary so you can judge your odds. The money is posted directly to your student account to help pay for tuition and fees. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Sheridan College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a new or returning full-time domestic student enrolled for the Fall 2026 semester. You must be an Ontario resident, which means you are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or a protected person (someone with refugee or protected-person status in Canada). You must have unmet provincial financial need on your 2026/2027 OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial government's financial aid system) application as of September 21, 2026. Finally, you must not have received a Sheridan Degree Entrance Scholarship for the Fall 2026 semester.

Tips for applying

OSAPAvoid submitting your OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial government's financial aid system) documents late. Instead, submit your OSAP application and every required document by Sheridan's OSAP deadline (it was August 24 for Fall 2026). Set a reminder a few weeks before it to double-check your portal.
TuitionAvoid missing your deposit date. Instead, pay your tuition deposit on time: for Fall 2026 the deadlines were June 15 for new students and July 15 for returning students.
StrategyAvoid waiting for a separate application form to open. Instead, focus on meeting the automated criteria since this award is granted without a manual application. Verify your residency and enrollment status in the student portal.
RealismAvoid assuming this bursary will cover all your remaining costs. Instead, treat this as a supplement to your OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial government's financial aid system) funding. Contact the financial aid office to see the average award amount.
