Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program Details

OGS scholarships promote academic excellence at Ontario’s publicly funded universities. Since 1975, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) program has awarded merit-based scholarships to Ontario’s top graduate students in all fields of study.

90 of the 3,000 annual scholarships are reserved for students who have received a temporary resident visa as a member of the student class under the federal Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The “Temporary Resident Visa Student Class” is another name for this. Others are given to qualified candidates who are Canadian citizens, landed immigrants, or permanent residents, with preference given to Ontario residents.
