About this award

You can receive up to $2,500. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a full-time student in any year of study within the Printmaking and Publications program who needs extra financial support. 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. Selection is based on your demonstrated financial need and the total number of students who apply. OCAD University supports two students every year with this award. 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 a full-time student enrolled in Printmaking and Publications at OCAD University. You can be in any year of study. You must also demonstrate financial need through OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial and federal government's financial aid system for students).

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid simply stating you need money. Instead, ensure your OSAP (the Ontario Student Assistance Program — the provincial and federal government's financial aid system for students) application is complete and up to date. Submit your latest assessment to prove your need.
• SupportAvoid submitting a generic request. Instead, connect with your program head in Printmaking and Publications to ensure your enrollment status is correctly flagged as full-time. Check your student record for accuracy.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is guaranteed funding. Instead, remember that OCAD University only supports two students every year with this bursary. Apply for other grants simultaneously to diversify your funding.
