University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Calendar 2000 - 2001 11. Scholarships and Awards
Undergraduate students of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering who achieve scholastic excellence are eligible for scholarships, prizes, bursaries, medals, and honours. They have been established through the University, its Alumni Associations, governments, commercial organizations, and other benefactors to encourage and honour outstanding achievement. The awards are listed alphabetically in two sections-Admission
Scholarships, for students entering their First Year in the Faculty,
and In-Course Scholarships and Bursaries.
The National Scholarship Program
Information and applications are sent to secondary schools each fall. Applications will not be sent to individual students since nomination by the school is required. At least fifteen and up to twenty of the finalists will
be identified as University of Toronto National Scholars. The National
Scholarship will range in value from $7,500 to $12,500 each year for fours
years of undergraduate study. The annual value of each student’s scholarship
will be determined on the basis of his or her financial circumstances.
University of Toronto Scholars
Program
Approximately 120 outstanding admission applicants are selected as University of Toronto Scholars. These awards have a value of $3,000 and may be held in any program of study at the University, in conjunction with admission awards that the students may receive from their faculty/college. Awards under the University of Toronto Scholars Program are not renewable. Outstanding students, however, will be eligible for consideration for University of Toronto ( In-course) Scholarships at the end of the first, second and third year of their programs. There are about 100 scholarships at each level. These in-course awards are worth $1,500 and are tenable with other in-course scholarships. The University's Commitment
The commitment is based on the assumption that Canadian citizens/permanent residents will first access the government aid for which they are eligible. Financial need is assessed based on the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), because OSAP provides a uniform method of assessing student need. For students who are assessed by OSAP (or by another Canadian provincial government financial aid program) as requiring maximum assistance, and whose assessed need is not fully covered by government aid, the University will ensure that the full need is met.

Government Financial Aid
Students from other Canadian provinces/territories should apply through their home province. Admissions and Awards can provide addresses and, in many cases, application forms. It is recommended that returning students apply for government financial aid by May 31 and new students by June 30. University of Toronto Work-Study

General Terms and Conditions of
Awards
To be eligible for any scholarship or award granted solely on academic standing, a student must have completed not less than the normal full load (approximately 120 units) within the two terms upon which the award is based. A student whose program in these two terms contains repeated courses will only be eligible if the aggregate of new courses is equal to or greater than 120 units. Faculty in-course scholarships requiring a full course load are noted in the following pages with an asterisk (*). Scholarships, medals and prizes based solely upon academic standing will be awarded only to students who have achieved honours in the work upon which the award is granted, unless otherwise specified in the terms of award. If the award is based on a single course or on part of the work of the term, the candidate must obtain unconditional pass standing in the work of the term, but not necessarily honours standing, unless the terms of the award so specify. A candidate will not be permitted to hold more than one award in a session unless the statute of each of the awards concerned or the calendar specifies otherwise. Tuition and residence fees are a first charge against awards. After the deduction of the applicable charges, any balance remaining will be paid to the recipient in October. Payment will be made only if the candidate is in regular attendance in the Faculty and, if the calendar so specifies, in the course in which the award is established or granted. Medals, after they have been suitably engraved, will be given without delay to the winners or forwarded to them by registered mail. Awards granted to members of graduating classes, other than awards for graduate study and research, will be paid in one installment as soon as possible after the granting of the awards. The Governing Council may, on the recommendation of the Faculty, permit a candidate to whom an award has been granted to postpone attendance in the Faculty for one year. Further postponement may be permitted on application. Note: The value of an endowed scholarship or prize is dependent on the actual income of the fund; it is possible that the value of certain scholarships and prizes at the time of payment may be greater or less than the amount stated in the calendar. In those cases where the amount of the award is not payable from income earned on an endowed fund, payment will be dependent on the receipt of the amount of the annual award from the donor.
