I've been looking into the University of Toronto for my undergraduate studies. Can someone let me know about any scholarships available for international students and how to apply for them?
The University of Toronto offers several scholarship programs for international undergraduate students.
One of the key scholarships is the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship, which covers tuition, books, incidental fees, and full residence support for four years. The Pearson Scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and creativity, and who are recognized as leaders within their school. In order to be considered for this scholarship, your school must nominate you and you should apply to the University of Toronto and complete the U of T Pearson Scholarship application.
The University of Toronto Scholars Program is another one. It's based on academic excellence and, when awarded with admission, you don't need to apply separately for it. It provides a renewable tuition scholarship.
Moreover, U of T offers other scholarships through their faculties and divisions, which assess eligibility based on the information on students' admission applications.
Lastly, several need-and-merit-based awards are available for international students. The International Scholar Award - Engineering provides up to $25,000 per year based on a separate application to study Engineering.
Please ensure to check all details directly on the University of Toronto's official website as scholarship availability can change per academic year. I hope that helps—best of luck with your applications!
