Internal Scholarships

In addition to funding that is available from the home graduate units, the Graduate Program in Women and Gender Studies offers the following scholarships:

City of Toronto Graduate Women’s Studies Scholarship

This scholarship is awarded on the basis of financial need and academic merit to the student deemed most likely to contribute to studies on the status of women, community studies and public policy. Please include a resume, an example of written work, two letters of academic reference and a ROSI academic transcript with your application. The City of Toronto Women’s Studies Scholarships application forms are available from the Program Office, Room 2036, Women and Gender Studies Institute, Wilson Hall, New College, 40 Willcocks Street.

Other Internal Awards at the University of Toronto

The School of Graduate Studies administers a number of other internal awards.  Information on these awards is circulated to students admitted to the master’s program in late spring/early summer.  We encourage all students to apply for these awards.  Often, the number of applicants for a given award are surprisingly small.

For more details, go to the School of Graduate Studies website.

Student Loans / Ontario Student Assistance Programs (OSAP)

Students are encouraged to investigate their eligibility for these programs. Application forms and brochures can be obtained from Admissions & Awards, University of Toronto, 315 Bloor Street, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1A3.  For more information visit the OSAP website.

Additional Help with Financial Planning

The School of Graduate Studies has Financial Assistance Counsellors who can help enrolled students with financial planning.
