Iranian Student Memorial Scholarship

The University of Toronto has established the Iranian Student Memorial Scholarship Fund in honour of those who lost their lives in the crash of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight PS752, including eight members of the University of Toronto community. This endowed fund provides needs-based awards to international undergraduate and graduate students from Iran who have been admitted to the U of T, or students from any background studying Iranian studies at the U of T. Applicants must be admitted as a full-time student in a master's or doctoral program at the University of Toronto for the 2025-26 academic year and either be an international graduate student with Iranian citizenship, or an international or domestic graduate student pursuing Iranian studies. Applicants must demonstrate financial need through the application process, with priority given to applicants not receiving other major sources of graduate funding or financial support. The scholarship was first awarded in Spring 2020 for students studying at U of T in the 2020-21 academic year. Applications require a one-page statement of intent, curriculum vitae, financial need assessment form, and one letter of reference.
