Students in graduate studies at the master’s and doctoral levels can apply for a merit-based scholarship through the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) Program.

Awards are available to graduate students for all disciplines of academic study at participating schools in Ontario

Each award is jointly funded by the Province of Ontario (two thirds) and the school offering the award (one third).

OGS awards are based on the number of terms of consecutive studies within an academic year:

• $10,000 for 2 consecutive study terms
• $15,000 for 3 consecutive study terms

Each OGS award is issued for:

• a minimum of 1 academic year (2 or 3 consecutive academic terms)
• a maximum of 2 years (up to 6 consecutive academic terms).

OGS is a merit-based scholarship. Applications are assessed and ranked using criteria determined by the school students are planning to attend.
