As an international student, I'm interested in Ontario Tech University and would love to know more about its scholarship offerings. What are the steps to apply, and are there specific scholarships I should be aware of?
Sure, I'd be happy to help you navigate the process. Ontario Tech University offers a number of scholarships for both domestic and international students.
First, it's important to know that Ontario Tech automatically considers all incoming students for most of their entrance scholarships based on academic achievements. The award is $1,500 per academic year. To maximize your chances, focus on maintaining or improving your academic performance.
Ontario Tech also has the Global Leadership Award (GLA) which is specifically for international students. This is a competitive scholarship worth $30,000 each year, over four years, and is based on outstanding academic achievement combined with leadership qualities. It requires a separate application where you have to provide information about your leadership roles and activities.
When it comes to the application process, it's relatively straightforward:
1. Choose Your Program: Be specific and decide which undergraduate program you want to study, as some scholarships are connected to specific programs.
2. Application: You first need to apply for an undergraduate program at Ontario Tech through the Ontario Universities Application Center.
3. As I mentioned earlier, you are automatically considered for most entrance scholarships based on your admissions average.
4. For specific scholarships like the Global Leadership Award, review the criteria and deadlines before submitting your application.
Remember, scholarships are competitive, so it's crucial to begin your application as early as possible. Also, keep an eye out for external scholarships that you may qualify for. Sites like Appily can be good resources for finding scholarships offered outside the university. Best of luck with your applications!
