Scholarships & Opportunities

In-Course Scholarships & ePortfolio

All registered U of T Engineering students are considered for scholarships after each academic year. While some scholarships are based on academic achievement, others have additional criteria. The Online Engineering Portfolio (ePortfolio) is a place where you can record your extra-curricular activities and store your resume.

The Faculty's Scholarships Committee uses the information in the ePortfolio to assist them in selecting recipients for awards that take extra-curricular activities and leadership qualities into consideration and to identify potential candidates for awards outside of the Faculty.

Additionally, U of T Engineering has scholarships and awards that support Black students, Indigenous students and students registered with Accessibility Services. The ePortfolio provides you with the opportunity to self-identify to be considered for these awards (regardless of extra-curricular involvement) if you would like to do so. While self-identification is not required to complete the ePortfolio, self-disclosure of identity is required to be considered for these specific scholarships and awards.

The ePortfolio will be turned off at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on June 7 to prepare for scholarship decisions made in mid-July. Don’t delay, complete or update your ePortfolio now!

U of T Award Explorer

U of T's Award Explorer tool can help you explore the diverse U of T funding opportunities that recognize your achievements and financially support your studies.

For Faculty and departmental scholarships listed in Award Explorer, the “application required” is the completion of the Faculty's ePortfolio; to complete your ePortfolio, visit the Engineering Portal. Any award that requires a separate application is listed below and will include a link to additional information.

Admissions and In-Course Scholarship Payments

If awarded, admissions scholarships are typically paid in the Fall Term once the student is officially registered, while the In-Course Awards are paid in the Winter Term.

If a student is receiving a scholarship that is greater than their minimum payment to register they are eligible to defer their fees. The student must submit a Fee Deferral Form to the Registrar's Office (registrar@engineering.utoronto.ca) or to awards@engineering.utoronto.ca prior to or on the last day to pay or defer fees for the session. The fee deferral form will be available in mid-July.

Additionally, before starting a post-secondary program, candidates must have lived in Ontario for twelve consecutive months. Financial need is most easily demonstrated with the receipt of OSAP for the current year. Other examples of financial need will be considered. For admission OSOTF awards, it is crucial that applicants complete the UTAPS application to indicate financial need. International or out-of-province students are not eligible for OSOTF awards.
