About this award

You get approximately $1,900. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an outstanding student who has earned a spot in the Rotman Commerce admission category. There is no deadline to meet: you are considered automatically when you apply to the Faculty of Arts & Science and are admitted to the Rotman Commerce admission category. Selection is automatic based on your grades at the time of admission; you do not need to submit a separate application. Ask University of Toronto (Rotman Commerce) how many of these awards are given out each year so you can judge your odds. Ask the University of Toronto 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 University of Toronto (Rotman Commerce) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• GradesAvoid focusing only on your final average. Instead, ensure your transcripts clearly show the outstanding academic achievement that makes you a fit for the Rotman Commerce category. Double-check that your OUAC (the Ontario Universities' Application Centre — the central portal for university applications in Ontario) profile is fully updated.
• StrategyAvoid waiting for a separate scholarship application form. Instead, focus entirely on your primary admission application since this award is automatic. Ensure your application to the Faculty of Arts & Science is submitted accurately and on time.
• RealismAvoid counting on this money. Instead, remember that automatic awards are based on a competitive pool of grades at the time of admission. Maintain your current academic momentum until you receive your official offer letter.
