The requirements for admission scholarships at UofT are conspicuously concealed, a pretty commonplace practice at this fine institution of ours. Usually students have to have a mid-high 90 average to be considered for such an award, but the exact numbers are left uncovered.<\/p>\n<p>A more active stance might be of some benefit, and here are some examples-<\/p>\n<p>First of all, apply for OSAP (or any other provincial financial plan, but OSAP I&#8217;m familiar with).

Can&#8217;t hurt to apply.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re in, go straight to the Faculty of Engineering registrar, and ask to meet with a financial counsellor to discuss your options.
