How to apply

Find out what your options are

• You can apply for scholarship and bursaries as soon as you've applied to the University of Ottawa and have received your uoAccess ID and password.
• Explore all of your opportunities through the Online Scholarships and Bursaries search engine, also available in uoZone, under the Applications tab.

Apply

• All scholarships and bursaries applications must be submitted online, using Online Scholarships and Bursaries. Application forms are usually available two months before the application deadline.
• Read all the requirements carefully before applying.
• Upload all required documents in Online Scholarships and Bursaries and submit your application.

Track your application

• Track all of your scholarship and bursary applications directly from the Online Scholarships and Bursaries tool home page.

Receive your funds

• Your scholarship or bursary will be credited to your student account.
• If you are a CO-OP student, you'll receive your funds once you're enrolled in a study term.
• Admission scholarships and renewals are usually credited to your student account in mid-July. You'll receive two equal instalments, one in September and one in January, which are applied towards your tuition fees.
• If you've already paid your tuition fees, you may have a credit balance in your student account after receiving a scholarship or bursary. Submit a request for reimbursement in uoZone, under Finances and jobs, to have these funds released.
• Scholarships and bursaries are taxable. You receive a T4A slip if you received awards, scholarships or bursaries from the University of Ottawa during the fiscal year. Slips are available in uoZone at the end of February.

Remember

If you receive a scholarship and subsequently stop your studies temporarily or change to part-time or special student status, your scholarship may be terminated.
