*Numbers reflect 2020-21 fiscal year

Award Explorer is a centralized, searchable database of thousands of awards from admissions to in-course and graduating awards. The database holds awards that are funded by the academic divisions, colleges, as well as awards that are institutionally centrally funded by the University of Toronto. This tool can help you explore the diverse funding opportunities available to you. Most of our scholarships are awarded to multiple recipients. You can apply for as many awards as you like. Some awards require no application; you will be considered automatically, and many awards can be combined with each other.
