Financial Support
OCAD University is committed to ensuring that students with financial need have enough funding to meet the direct educational costs of attending university, including tuition, books and mandatory fees. Various bursary programs generated through government, donations, endowments, tuition revenue, and external agencies are available to OCAD U students. Bursaries are non-repayable awards intended to supplement students' other sources of funding, range in value from $500 to $5,000, and are disbursed based on financial need and the number of students who apply. Approximately 1,000 students are supported through this program annually; a list of all available bursaries can be found in AwardSpring. Students must meet eligibility criteria to apply.
