Admission Awards

NOTE: The calendar is published in March. Check our website in September for updates or changes to the scholarship program.

UofT at Scarborough provides generous funding for entrance scholarships to students entering first year. Students transferring from other universities with outstanding academic achievement are also considered. For need-based awards, applicants must complete a University of Toronto Advance Planning for Students (UTAPS) application, which is mailed automatically to all applicants who are Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada. Successful applicants will be notified of awards received at the time they receive an offer of admission to the University.

In considering students for scholarships, the University reserves the right to give preference to students whose marks are the result of a single attempt at each course.

The National Scholarship Programme

The University of Toronto National Scholarships will be awarded to students who demonstrate superior academic performance, original and creative thought, and exceptional achievement in a broad context. The National Scholars will be those who not only excel in academic pursuits but also have an enthusiasm for intellectual exploration and an involvement in the life of their school and community. Each secondary school is invited to nominate, on the basis of these criteria, one graduating student to receive a University of Toronto National Book Award. The winners of the Book Awards, and only these students, may enter the National Scholarship Competition.

Information and applications are sent to secondary schools each fall. Applications will not be sent to individual students since nomination by the school is required.

At least fifteen and up to twenty of the finalists will be identified as University of Toronto National Scholars. The National Scholarship will range in value from $7,500 to $12,500 each year for four years of undergraduate study. The annual value of each student's scholarship will be determined on the basis of his or her financial circumstances.

University of Toronto Scholars Programme

This program recognizes outstanding University of Toronto students in any first degree course, both on admission and during their course of study. Approximately 120 outstanding admission applicants are selected as University of Toronto Scholars. These awards have a value of $3,000 and may be held in any program of study at the University, in conjunction with admission awards that the students may receive from their faculty/college.

Awards under the University of Toronto Scholars Program are not renewable. Outstanding students, however, will be eligible for consideration for University of Toronto (In-course) Scholarships at the end of the first, second and third year of their programs. There are about 100 scholarships at each level for all divisions. At UofT at Scarborough, there are 15 of these awards at each level. These in-course awards are worth $1500 and are tenable with other in-course scholarships.

University of Toronto at Scarborough Admission Scholarships

Number & Value (year 2000)Achievement

Unlimited @ $4,500 90.0% to 100% based on final average in June

Unlimited @ $2,250 87.0% to 89.9% based on final average in June

Unlimited @ $1,500 85.0% to 86.9% based on final average in June

Percentages given assume a grading scale where an A average ranges from 80.0% to 100%. Adjustments will be made for different grading scales. The average is based on the admissions average. English OAC1 is a required course for all programmes. The final average is calculated to be significant to one decimal point.

(Exceptions: In general, one major award per student is permitted. For example, where a student in the 90% range has been given another major award such as the University of Toronto Scholars award valued at $3,000, Scarborough will offer an additional award so that the total value of all awards is at least $4,500. The level of funding obtained from all awards from the University from all sources could be higher but will not be lower than the amounts described above for each grade range.) In considering students for scholarships, the University reserves the right to give preference to students whose marks are the result of a single attempt at each course.
