Student Awards

To say you graduated from the University of Toronto’s Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy has always meant that you graduated from one of the top pharmacy faculties in the world. However, one thing that drastically differentiates students entering our Faculty today is the cost of a pharmacy education. Since the 1990’s, the cost of a pharmacy education has risen dramatically in step with declining government funding. To support the growth of the next generation of pharmacists, financial assistance for our students is our top priority. Accessible excellence is also a core value at the University of Toronto. The majority of first-year Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) recipients at our university come from households with parental incomes of less than $60,000 per year. Today, U of T supports more students from lower-income households and allots more dollars from our operating budget to bursaries and scholarships than any other Ontario university.

Accessible excellence at U of T is built on a legacy of student support provided by alumni and friends. With the support of our donors, we offer two types of student awards at both the undergraduate and graduate level:

  1. Scholarship/Merit-Based Awards – Financial awards given to student based on a number of potential criteria including general academic achievement, achievement in a course or series of courses; extra-curricular activities, and contributions to the Faculty and the profession.
  2. Bursaries – Financial awards that are primarily based on need, but may also involve academic achievement and other criteria.

Student awards range from covering a portion of tuition to covering the entire cost of tuition and living expenses.
