Scholarship Details:

Students are considered for the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST) at Waterloo by using one application. Both scholarships are of equal prestige. The differences between the OGS and QEII-GSST scholarships are as follows:

  • OGS is available for all disciplines of academic study and is available to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and international students.
  • QEII-GSST is available specifically for students in a research-based graduate program in one of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines and is only available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Scholarship Requirements:

  • International applicants must hold a valid study permit under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada).
  • Domestic applicants must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or protected person under subsection 95(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada).

Scholarship Duration and Reward

  • Each OGS and QEII-GSST is valued at a maximum of $15,000 per year. The award is paid at $5,000 per term for either two or three terms.

    Waterloo celebrates the outstanding academic achievement of its graduate students by offering the President’s Graduate Scholarship (PGS) to students receiving an OGS or QEII-GSST. Successful OGS and QEII-GSST recipients will begin their scholarship during 2024–2025. The allowable start terms are spring 2024, fall 2024, or winter 2025.

  • Awards are granted for up to one year in duration and are non-renewable. Applicants must apply annually in order to be considered.

    Recipients can hold the scholarship for a minimum of two terms (receiving $10,000 total) or a maximum of three terms (receiving $15,000 total). Accepting an OGS/QEII-GSST for only one term is not permitted.

Required Documents

  • Applicants must have achieved a first-class average (minimum of A-/80%) in each of the last two completed years of study (full-time equivalent).
  • Eligibility averages are calculated using grades from your most recent academic history up to August 31, 2023, regardless of program or relevance to your current or proposed program. Waterloo is required to adhere to these parameters as dictated by Ontario’s Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU).

Method of Application

If you apply to UBC by January 15, you will be automatically considered for the IMES.

Scholarship status

You will be considered for this scholarship shortly after you receive an offer of admission to UBC. Scholarship decisions are made between mid-March and the end of April each year.

Deadline: February 1, 2024
