About the scholarship
Students in graduate studies at the master’s and doctoral levels can apply for a merit-based scholarship through the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) Program.
The OGS is valued at an amount of $15,000 per year awarded to graduate students of several participating Canadian universities as support towards living and study costs.
The Ontario Graduate Scholarship and the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST) programs encourage excellence in graduate studies at publicly-assisted universities in Ontario.
Both programs are jointly funded by the Ontario government and participating institutions. The government contributes two-thirds of the value of the awards and the university provides the remaining one-third.
The OGS is available to students across all disciplines of academic study; and available to Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents and International students.
