What students have to say
[After receiving an award]: “It was a huge weight off my family's shoulders. I was able to come to this university with my head held high, not having to worry about a single thing besides accomplishing my academic and career goals.”
Jamar, Faculty of Arts and Science, University College
[After receiving a scholarship]: "Just knowing that I had financial security, to be able to buy books, groceries and pay rent without worrying about what financial position I'd be in at the end of the year — that was a huge deal. ”
Emma, University of Toronto, Scarborough campus
“I won the President's Award for Outstanding Indigenous Student of the Year which was a hefty sum. That was amazing to help me save a little bit and pay off some debts that I had accumulated over the school year.”
