About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for funding available to Indigenous students in the MSW or MD programs at the University of Toronto.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact University of Toronto to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. These are grants, not loans, so you do not have to pay them back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing advanced medical or social work studies and can show you have financial need. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Toronto how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Toronto 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 University of Toronto whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
