University of Ottawa Scholarship
Aim and Benefits of University of Ottawa Scholarship
- Your scholarship or bursary 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 or bursary. Submit a request for reimbursement in uoZone, under Finances and jobs, to have these funds released.
- Scholarships and bursaries 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.
