Ontario Graduate Scholarship
The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST) programs encourage excellence in graduate studies at publicly-assisted universities in Ontario. Since 1975, the OGS program has been providing merit-based scholarships to Ontario's best graduate students in all disciplines of academic study. In 1998, the Ontario government introduced the QEII-GSST, a merit-based scholarship program targeted specifically toward graduate students in science and technology. Both programs are jointly funded by the Ontario government and participating institutions, with the government contributing two-thirds of the value of the awards and the university providing the remaining one-third. The University of Waterloo reserves two OGS awards specifically for Indigenous applicants each year, recognizing citizens or members of First Nations communities (Status/Non-Status), Métis, or Inuit as defined in the Canadian Constitution Act 1982.
