Financial aid and awards
Welcome to the School of Music's Financial Aid and Awards page. Please note that the application process is done through the 'Online Scholarships and Bursaries' portal in the 'Finance' section of your uoZone account. The application steps are clearly outlined in the scholarship navigator you will find in this portal.
There are a considerable number of scholarships for which you might be eligible throughout the University of Ottawa. This page is meant to serve as a reference for scholarships managed by the School of Music. Please click on the links below to learn more about the various scholarships.
Most of our scholarships are of two varieties: need-based scholarships (the OSOTF/OTSS scholarships), and merit based-scholarships. For need based scholarships, candidates must demonstrate financial need (you will need to fill out the 'Financial Questionnaire' which is another portal in the 'Finances' section of your uoZone account), and be residents of Ontario as per OSAP rules.
For applications, please visit the Financial Aid and Awards website: https://www.uottawa.ca/financial-aid-awards/
