Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS)

Ontario Graduate Scholarships are available to students with a high level of academic achievement. International students are eligible for this scholarship.

Beginning with the 2013-14 competition, the University of Toronto will be responsible for the awarding of the scholarships held at U of T.  Students must submit an OGS application to each institution for which they are seeking admission. OGS awards are no longer transferrable from one university to another.

Value of OGS: $15,000 - for 3 consecutive terms

• OGS awards are not automatically renewed. You must submit a new application each year (12-month period).

Eligibility

1. Masters students are eligible for an OGS in years 1 and 2 of their program.
2. Doctoral students are eligible in any year of their program but may hold a maximum of four (4) OGS awards at the doctoral level
3. Students are eligible for a lifetime maximum of six (6) years of government-funded awards and cannot hold an OGS and another government-funded award currently.
4. There is no longer a cap on the maximum number of hours a student may work while holding an OGS.  However, the student’s main occupation should be as a student so they cannot be employed full-time.
