International Financial Aid Application
The Faculty of Arts & Science has a limited number of admission scholarships available to international undergraduate applicants who have financial need. These are selected based on academic achievement as well as financial need demonstrated through the International Financial Aid Application, available to all international applicants through the JOIN U of T Portal. Canadian applicants (living in Canada or abroad) should not complete the International Financial Aid Application, as they are eligible for the University of Toronto Advanced Planning for Students Program (UTAPS) and other governmentally administered financial aid programs. International Financial Aid Application decisions will be issued in April. Please note that scholarships and bursaries rarely cover the full cost of tuition and living expenses.
Read the Terms & Conditions of the International Financial Aid Application.
We also recommend that you investigate scholarship or award opportunities in your own community. Some workplaces have scholarships for the children of employees, while many companies and community organizations offer application-based awards for which you may be eligible.
In-course scholarships
Students who excel in their academic course work may qualify for in-program scholarships. These scholarships are generally awarded by the University or by a Faculty or College, and are based on academic proficiency or achievements in particular areas.
Finally, each College at the University offers scholarships and awards for their students. You can learn more about these scholarship and award opportunities on the Arts & Science website.
