Each university administers Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS) individually and sets their own deadlines. Applicants must apply for an OGS to each of the universities they are interested in attending, including their own institution if they are currently enrolled at a university.

A limited number of OGS awards are available for international master’s and PhD students.

The links below provide information about applying for an OGS at each of Ontario’s universities.

The Ontario Visiting Graduate Student (OVGS) Program allows a graduate student enrolled at an Ontario university to complete a graduate course at another Ontario university, while remaining registered at the student’s own institution. The program allows the student to bypass the usual application and transfer of credit processes.

The student pays fees to her/his home university and is classed as a “visiting graduate student” at the host university where she/he pays no fees. Additional fees associated with the course are the student’s responsibility.
