The University of Guelph attracts a community of outstanding scholars to its broad range of faculties and programs. The Committee on Awards, established by the Senate of the University, is responsible for the supervision of the administration of awards in the gift of the Senate. In addition, this Committee formulates policies regarding the effective use of funds designated for awards and establishes the terms and conditions attached to the awards. Each College has an Awards Committee which is responsible for the awarding of scholarships and bursaries. In addition, there is a University Bursary Committee that is responsible for bursaries which are based entirely on financial need and do not have an academic requirement.Some scholarships and bursaries are open to all students regardless of degree or diploma program and these are listed in this section under the heading All Degree Programs of the University. Others are restricted to students in particular degree programs and these are listed by program. Students entering the 1st semester should therefore consult all of these sections for entrance awards. Also refer to Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Academic Misconduct, Penalties, for additional regulations regarding scholarships and bursaries.
Eligibility: To be eligible for entrance awards, you should be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident entering the 1st year of post-secondary studies for the first time. Where appropriate, in-course awards indicate the semester level in which the award is normally applicable. Full-time and part-time students are eligible for most awards, unless otherwise stated in the eligibility clause or in the terms and conditions of the award. A minimum of 70% average is required for all awards, excluding bursaries.International Students: Financial Assistance Programs are available for International Students, including Entrance Awards, Work Study and In-course Bursaries. In addition, many of the University of Guelph's scholarships for upper-year students are available to enrolled international students and are based on high academic standing. Where applications are required, it is the student's responsibility to obtain an application from Student Financial Services and to see that it is returned prior to the deadline date.
Access Awards: The University recently established an endowment fund through the generous contributions of over 6,000 donors which was matched by the provincial government's Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund (OSOTF) program. The income generated from this endowment will be used to support financial aid programs. The awards created will be used to assist Canadian citizens or permanent residents who meet the Ontario residency requirements as mandated by the OSOTF program. Students must complete a Need Assessment Form in order to be considered. Please contact the Student Financial Services office for further details.
