Apply for several scholarships at once
The Harmonized Scholarship Process allows you to apply for several Faculty of Graduate Studies-managed scholarships using a single online application. You are not required to be accepted into a 鶹ý graduate program to apply for these scholarships. However, you must identify the graduate program you intend to apply for in your scholarship application to facilitate the review process. Scholarship offers are conditional upon your eventual acceptance into the program. If you are a 鶹ý master’s student expecting to transfer or fast-track to a doctoral program in January or May of the current academic year, or in September or January of the next academic year, you are encouraged to apply for doctoral-level awards. Scholarships awarded through the Harmonized Scholarship Process are not transferrable between institutions.
Please note that all application materials including transcripts and reference letters must be submitted by this deadline. Incomplete applications will be disqualified.
Prior to the deadline, you can withdraw, edit and resubmit your saved application in the online portal. No edits or resubmissions are possible after the deadline.
