Awards and other forms of aid available to undergraduate students are listed below and are organized as follows:
The undergraduate awards program of the University is administered by the Office of Student Awards under the guidance of the Senate Committee on Student Awards (Undergraduate).
The University directly administers only those awards whose terms are deemed to be in harmony with the interests of the University as an academic institution and compatible with the intent of the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Canadian Charter of Rights.
The term "Award" is a general designation applied to any citation, medal, gift or grant of money presented to a student.
Entrance Awards are made to students entering the University directly from secondary school.
In-Course Awards are made to students who are registered in second year or beyond.
Scholarships are awards made in recognition of academic excellence and general proficiency. They may take the form of a monetary allowance or a proficiency medal or in some cases both.
Prizes are awards made in recognition of outstanding scholastic achievement or proficiency in a specific area.
Bursaries and Grants are monetary awards made on the basis of satisfactory standing and financial need.
Loans to assist with emergency financing are available to students with satisfactory scholastic standing who demonstrate financial need. Loans are repayable according to the terms of a definite agreement.
In addition to satisfying the conditions of each award as specified in the individual descriptions, the following general criteria apply:
Academic: Applicants for entrance awards must have First-Class Honours standing or the equivalent as determined by the University. The student's secondary school record will form the basis for determining awards.
Candidates for in-course bursaries must have completed at least one term of full-time study at this University, with a minimum cumulative average of 6.5.
Course Load and Continuous Study: Normally, recipients of entrance awards must enrol in the University for the academic year immediately following the conferring of the award.
Except in cases of scholarship medals and prizes, or unless otherwise specified in the description of the award, recipients of awards must be registered as full-time students during the academic session for which the award is intended.
Normally, the monetary benefits of the award are forfeited if the student withdraws from the University or fails to maintain full-time registration before the end of the academic year for which the award is given.
Since the University operates on a three-term system for some programs, an academic year will be defined as two terms; continuous study will be defined as a minimum of two terms out of three.
Open Entrance Scholarships: Other than application for admission to the University, no application for "Open Entrance Scholarships" is required. Students who wish to be considered must, where applicable, have met the specified deadline dates for auditions, portfolio evaluation, etc., and must have complete admissions applications on file in the Registrar's Office by May 31st for Fall entry.
For applications received after this date, awards will be offered only if funds are available.
For specific procedures pertaining to individual entrance Competition Awards administered by the University, see 12.3; for those not administered by the University, see 12.4.
In-Course Awards: For in-course and general awards assigned on the basis of academic proficiency, no application is necessary unless indicated in the description of the awards.
In-Course Bursaries: For in-course bursaries which involve consideration of financial status (as well as academic and/or other factors), a general "Application for Bursary Assistance" must be filed by October 31 (in first term) or February 15 (in second term).
Entrance awards are generally offered to candidates at the time of the offer of admission to the University.
The deadline for acceptance of entrance awards is two weeks after receipt of the offer.
Decisions on most in-course awards are made prior to November 30 of the year in which the award is applicable.
Awards administered by the University will be made by the Senate Committee on Student Awards to qualified candidates of merit and may be withheld if no candidates of merit present themselves.
The University reserves the right to substitute all or part of its award by an equivalent award or awards.
The University does not guarantee any award other than those created from the funds of the University. Those awards which are the gifts of outside donors are awarded only after the funds actually have been received.
Unless otherwise indicated, all awards administered by the University will be credited to the recipient's tuition account at the University through the Office of the Director of Finance. Funds will be credited to the student's account one term at a time, provided that the recipient is continuing in courses to the satisfaction of the University. If satisfactory standing and/or a full course load are not maintained, payment may be withheld. Cheques for the remaining balance, if any, will be available from the Cashier after October 31 (Fall term), after February 28 (Winter term), or after July 22 (Summer term).
The monetary benefits of awards administered by the University will be determined in relation to what is available to the student from other awards which the student accepts.
A student may be declared the winner of as many scholarships as he or she may win as a qualified candidate of merit, but in the case of awards involving a major financial amount, such student normally will receive only the largest among these major amounts.
Some scholarships may be renewed for a maximum of three additional continuous years providing that the student carries a full academic load and maintains a cumulative average of at least 10.5.
In the event that a recipient fails to meet these requirements, he/she will lose the scholarship for the ensuing year, but may regain it in a subsequent year.
