These Scholarships are ordinarily renewable for the length of required academic residence in the degree program. Please note that the Scholarships do not cover tuition and fees. The scholarship is awarded annually for the period of required residence to a doctoral student who is a practising educator. A candidate will be selected from the nominees for the Pitt and Shapiro scholarships. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic merit, and previous and intended contribution to their communities.
Preference is given to new applicants to a graduate degree program.
First-year students are normally not eligible until the second Regular Session term. Ontario Graduate Scholarships are available to students with a high level of academic achievement. Awards are for two or three consecutive terms. The closing date is usually late October for the following academic year, but the Department will announce a specific date.
