About this award

You can receive up to $5,000 per student for this award. OCAD University notes that its bursaries generally range in value from $500 to $5,000, and the final amount depends on your financial need and how many other students apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an OCAD University student in the Faculty of Art or Design planning an exchange in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). 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 currently enrolled at OCAD University. You must be a student in the Faculty of Art or Design participating in an exchange with schools in the United Kingdom (specifically England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland).

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your budget. Instead, list your specific expected costs for the UK exchange and your current income. Create a simple table showing your projected expenses versus your available funds.
• RealismAvoid assuming the full $5,000 is guaranteed. Instead, remember that OCAD University scales these awards based on the total number of applicants and financial need. Plan your travel budget using the $500 minimum as a baseline.
