Faculty of Arts Dean's Merit Scholarship

The Faculty of Arts awards 10 of these renewable scholarships, each valued at a total of $4,000. Eligible applicants must be enrolled full time, and for the first time, in an undergraduate program at the Faculty of Arts and have a minimum admission average of 90%. This scholarship can be renewed for the three following years provided the student has a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 9.00 or higher at the end of a term (in at least 24 units) and is enrolled full time at the Faculty of Arts. No application is required for this scholarship. The scholarship is awarded during the summer preceding your studies.

Receive your funds

• Your scholarship will be credited to your student account.
• If you are a CO-OP student, you'll receive your funds once you're enrolled in a study term.
• Admission scholarships and renewals are usually credited to your student account in mid-July. You'll receive two equal instalments, one in September and one in January, which are applied towards your tuition fees.
• If you've already paid your tuition fees, you may have a credit balance in your student account after receiving a scholarship. Submit a request for reimbursement in uoZone, under Finances and jobs, to have these funds released.
• Scholarships are taxable. You receive a T4A slip if you received awards, scholarships or bursaries from the University of Ottawa during the fiscal year. Slips are available in uoZone at the end of February.
