Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS) 2009/10-Graduates-Canada

Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program 2009/10 for Graduate Canadian Citizens by the Ontario Student Assistance Program in Canada

The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) program encourages excellence in graduate studies at the master’s and doctoral levels.

An Ontario Graduate Scholarship is awarded for one academic year, which may consist of two or three consecutive terms. The value of the OGS is $5,000 per term. Thus, you may receive $10,000 for two consecutive terms or $15,000 for three consecutive terms. One-term awards are not granted. The province of Ontario contributes two-thirds of this amount and the university provides one-third.

You may be considered for an OGS if you:

  1. Plan to be enrolled full-time in an eligible program leading to a master’s or doctoral degree at an eligible institution in Ontario. Check with your graduate studies office to determine if your program of study and your institution are eligible for the purposes of this scholarship.
  2. Are a Canadian citizen, Protected Person, or Permanent Resident or have received a temporary resident visa as a member of the student class under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada). If applicable, the date on your Protected Person, Permanent Resident, or Temporary Resident Visa Student Class documentation can be no later than November 18, 2009.
  3. In addition to basic eligibility criteria, there are minimum academic standards that must be met before you can be considered for an OGS.
