• The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) programme promotes academic performance in Ontario's publicly funded universities. Since 1975, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship programme has awarded merit-based scholarships to Ontario's top graduate students in all fields of study. 
• The University of Toronto's scholarship programme is co-funded by the Province of Ontario and the University of Toronto. 
• The province assigns OGS awards to universities and specifies the number of prizes each institution may present to its students each year.

• The OGS is valued at $5,000 each session. As a result, recipients may get $10,000 or $15,000 for two or three consecutive sessions.

• Master’s students are eligible to receive the scholarship for a maximum of 2 years. Whereas, doctoral students may receive a scholarship for 4 years.
• The lifetime maximum restriction for a government-funded scholarship is six years for any student.
• No single student can avail of two government-funded scholarships concurrently. The restricted scholarships are listed below:
  • Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology 
  • Ontario Trillium Scholarships 
  • Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada 
  • Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council 
  • Canadian Institute of Health Research 
  • Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships 

The OGS program adjudication takes place at the program level, therefore deadlines and specific processes are determined by an individual master-level program at Canadian universities. However, while applying for the scholarship, students have to submit the following documents:

• Ontario Graduate Scholarship 2022 application form
• Confidential Academic Assessment Reports from two academic referees.
• Academic transcripts from previously attended post-secondary institutions.
• Copy of photocopy of the proof of Canadian citizenship/ permanent resident status or copies of visa documentation.
• Plan of study (maximum of 3,950 characters including spaces)
• Previous awards/publications/research experience
