Scholarships at Ontario Technical University

These awards recognize academic accomplishments for recent Canadian secondary-school graduates. If you are an international student who studied at an on-shore secondary school in Canada, you may be eligible to receive an award. The following amounts are automatically awarded in your first year based on your best six 4U/4M courses (or equivalent).

• $4,000 - 95 per cent or higher

• $2,000 - 90 to 94.9 per cent

• $1,000 - 85 to 89.9 per cent

Effective Sunday, January 1, if you are an international student that has successfully completed the ELC program of study and are entering an undergraduate program at the university on a study permit, you may be eligible for one of the university’s ELC Scholarships.

Valued at $1,000 CAD, these scholarships will be awarded upon enrolment in the first year of an undergraduate program. The ELC Scholarships are one-time-only and are not renewable. Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and students receiving funding from a sponsor or third party are not eligible for this scholarship.

We want to recognize your academic achievements during your undergraduate studies. If you have achieved a minimum 3.7 GPA (on a 4.3 scale) during the previous year and you are returning to full-time study, you will be automatically awarded a scholarship and notified through your student email account.

• $1,500 - 4.0⁺ GPA

• $1,000 - 3.7 - 3.99 GPA

Please note: In-course scholarships are available for up to three years of your first undergraduate degree. To be considered, you must have been enrolled in a minimum 80 per cent course load per term during your previous academic year.

If you are an international secondary school student entering an undergraduate program at the university on a study permit, you may be eligible to receive one of the university's International Merit Awards beginning September 2024.

International Merit Awards are valued at $20,000 CAD over four years ($5,000 CAD x four years) and will be awarded to applicants with a grade point average of 80 per cent or greater as calculated at the time of admission.  Successful applicants will be notified with an offer of scholarship from the university.

Canadian citizens and permanent residents are not eligible for the International Merit Awards.

This award may not be held in conjunction with other scholarships and/or awards, such as the Global Leadership Award, Awards of Recognition, Major Scholarships or In-Course Scholarships.

Student eligibility for renewal:

• Enrolled in a course load of at least 80 per cent or 12 credit hours (normally, four courses per term)

• Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher in your previous year

Note, if your residency status changes to domestic, you will no longer be eligible to receive this award.
