Ontario Graduate Scholarship - UW

The Ontario Graduate Scholarship - UW is a scholarship valued at $5,000 awarded annually to full-time University of Waterloo graduate students registered in a Master's or Doctoral program. This scholarship serves as a matching component to the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, creating a combined total value of $15,000 distributed over three consecutive academic terms. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic excellence to students who have already been selected to receive an Ontario Graduate Scholarship. It provides additional financial support through a 2:1 matching arrangement with the provincial OGS award. Students are selected automatically by their Faculty or Department based on scholastic excellence, and the award is open to students in any graduate program across all six faculties at the University of Waterloo. Both Canadian/permanent residents and international students with study permits are eligible to receive this scholarship.
