About this award

Depending on your academic achievement, you can receive one of three award levels: up to $180,000 ($45,000 x 4 years), up to $100,000 ($25,000 x 4 years), or up to $60,000 ($15,000 x 4 years). This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an international student finishing high school who is highly competitive academically and seeking admission to the University of Toronto Mississauga campus. No specific application deadline is posted publicly because consideration is automatic upon your admission. Before you apply to the university, check the University of Toronto Mississauga program page or call their office to confirm the current admissions deadlines for international students. A committee reviews your application and selects recipients based on your academic achievement and overall competitiveness. Ask University of Toronto Mississauga how many students typically receive these awards so you can judge your odds. The annual scholarship value is applied directly to your student account after your full-time enrolment is confirmed every September. Ask University of Toronto Mississauga during your application if there are any other specific payment steps you need to follow. To keep this award, you must maintain full-time registration at the University of Toronto Mississauga and complete at least 3.0 credits by the end of the Fall/Winter session each year. The scholarship can be renewed up to three consecutive times based on your academic performance and remaining in "good standing," though it may be withdrawn for unsatisfactory performance or breaches of the student code of conduct.

Who qualifies

You must be an international student applying from secondary school who is admitted to the University of Toronto Mississauga. You must maintain full-time registration at the University of Toronto Mississauga, as this award is not transferable to other campuses or faculties. Please note that international students who are paying domestic fees are not eligible for this award. Also, if you receive external sponsorship that, combined with this award, exceeds your total educational costs, the university may reduce or cancel the scholarship.

Tips for applying

• Academic RecordAvoid focusing only on your final grades. Instead, show a consistent pattern of high achievement across all your secondary school years. Ensure your transcripts are sent directly from your school to the admissions office.
• Application StrategyAvoid searching for a separate scholarship application form. Instead, focus on making your primary admission application to the University of Toronto Mississauga as strong as possible, since consideration for this award is automatic.
• StrategyAvoid assuming the award renews automatically every year. Instead, plan your finances knowing that you must complete 3.0 credits annually and stay in good academic standing to secure your renewals.
• RealismAvoid ignoring the impact of internships on your funding. If you join the UTMCIP (University of Toronto Mississauga Co-operative Integrated Program — a program that blends academic study with professional work experience) or PEY (Professional Experience Year — a long-term internship program), you will not receive the scholarship during your internship months.
