REWARDING EXCELLENCE
THROUGHOUT YOUR STUDIES
Thanks to our generous financial assistance programs, we reward our students for their excellence in academics, extracurricular activities or community
engagement, both when they’re admitted and during their studies. Certain assistance is automatic, like the University of Ottawa admission scholarships,
the French Studies Bursary and the Merit Scholarship, while you must apply through our Online Scholarships and Bursaries search engine for others.
The following pages contain examples of admission and in-course scholarships offered by the University of Ottawa and our faculties. Be sure to check
the eligibility criteria for the assistance you want closely and submit your applications by the deadlines indicated in Online Scholarships and Bursaries.
PAYING FOR YOUR STUDIES THROUGH A UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA ADMISSION SCHOLARSHIP

PAYING FOR YOUR STUDIES THROUGH GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL AID
Many students rely on government financial aid to pay for their
studies. Indeed, receiving government financial aid is an eligibility
criterion for some bursaries. Your loans are interest-free and don’t
have to be repaid as long as you are a full-time student in an
approved postsecondary program.
If you’re from another province or territory, check out the
