SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS
Purpose
OCAD U's Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards programs recognize excellence. Each program and year level gives a variety of scholarships and awards based on grades and/or studio/coursework. Scholarships and awards are different from bursaries, which are distributed on the basis of financial need.
Definitions
Scholarships recognize overall academic achievement (combined studio/Liberal Arts & Sciences) on the basis of grades only and encourage further studies. They are given at the first-, second- and third-year levels in the Faculty of Design or Faculty of Art programs, as well as for specific Liberal Arts & Sciences achievement. No application required. Scholarships are given as tuition credits prior to the start of the next academic year. For more information, visit In-Study Scholarships.
Awards recognize achievement in each program at the fourth-year level on the basis of studio work, as well as specific Liberal Arts & Sciences achievement on the basis of coursework completed. Awards are given as cash awards, and will be presented at an Awards event in the late spring. OCAD U Medals will be given for each program at the fourth-year level as part of the Awards Program. OCAD U Medals are presented at the Convocation Ceremony. Application required. For more information, visit In-Study Awards.
