The Faculty of Arts & Science awards approximately $15 million in admission awards to first-year undergraduate students. We have two new scholarships being offered to students:

• Building Canadian Leaders: Faculty of Arts & Science Award: is awarded to Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons (convention refugees) entering the Mathematical & Physical Sciences admission category who demonstrate a track record of community engagement, involvement in sports, culture and extracurricular activities, entrepreneurial spirit and leadership potential. This award is valued up to approximately $16,000 over four years of study. Application deadline for this award has been extended to February 15th.
• Nicoletta and Dan Scrimger Award: is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate student upon admission to the Humanities at the Faculty of Arts & Science on the basis of academic merit and financial need. Students must be a graduate of a Toronto high school in order to be eligible for consideration. Incoming students will automatically be considered for this award, which is valued up to approximately $20,000 over four years of study.

There are many ways for students to visit and engage with the University of Toronto this spring! During Spring Into U of T, students can register for a March Break tour, enjoy a virtual information session or connect with recruitment staff or current students – there’s something for everyone! Your students can explore and register for spring tours and sessions at: future.utoronto.ca/visit/spring-into-uoft.

Our U of T Talks lecture series is designed to bring some of the world’s foremost intellectuals directly to you and your students. In this talk, Professor David Goldreich will discuss the misunderstandings about how financial markets work. He will demystify bonds and stocks and explains why financial markets are so important for our economy. Join us for U of T Talks on Wednesday, February 22nd.

From March 6-9, join the University of Toronto’s entrepreneurial community at 15+ events showcasing, celebrating, and rewarding innovation and startup activity at U of T. All are welcome at this week of public events – students, mentors, alumni, business leaders, investors and anyone else who wants to be inspired and learn why U of T is THE place to innovate. Learn more about Entrepreneurship Week.

Do you want to experience what it's like to attend U of T? You can now sign-up for our Enrichment & Summer Programs which are offered on all three U of T campuses on a wide range of topics. Here are a few of the programs we have on offer:

• YSP Youth Summer Programs: The Youth Summer Program (YSP) offers an exclusive glimpse into the world of Medicine and Law. A unique modular-based format provides students with a diverse set of subject areas and flexibility. Students participate in the exploration of the respective fields, career opportunities, and what they should be thinking about (and doing) in high school to prepare themselves for post-secondary admission and education.
• UC Summer Drama for International Students: Whether you are coming from a different country or continent, UC Summer Drama offers an environment of growth and exploration for international students entering or currently enrolled in a college or university. We are accepting students with some experience and a high interest in theatre either through acting or digital media production for theatre (including sound design and music technology).

If you have questions, you can contact our recruitment team by email: ask.myfuture@utoronto.ca.

We look forward to reconnecting soon!
