U of T St.George enterance scholarships? Options

Today I was accepted into U of T St. George, and was wondering if they mention that you have an enterance scholarship in the acceptance? I only have been accepted through the portal (no email, no mail yet). So I was wondering. My average is above 92% also.

Has anyone else been accepted and were given an enterance scholarship?

Do they give the enterance scholarship when they send you the email/mail?


Also, I have been accepted into Victoria College - how will I know if I have received an enterance scholarship for Vic or not?

Hey,

I'm in the same boat as you. :) Anyway, I was looking around the Vic website. Look at this long list of scholarships that the college offers!

For 90%-94% (i think) it's $2000 entrance scholarship. It's on their site somewhere.

I just got my acceptance letter today with a $2000 entrance scholarship. They said I may still be considered for more scholarships though.

Congratulations on being accepted to U of T and Victoria College!

If your academic average was above 92%, you will be guaranteed at least $2,000 in President's Entrance from U of T. This is a little confusing sometimes, so I can explain here. If Victoria College has also decided to award you an entrance scholarship, say $1,500, then U of T will add an extra $500 to make it a $2,000 scholarship. If Victoria College grants you $3,500, then unfortunately U of T's President's Entrance Scholarship will not come into effect, but you will get to have all $3,500 of course. Basically it is there to ensure that you receive at least $2,000 from any U of T institution to go towards your studies.

I cannot remember if it is noted in the email you first get, but it should definitely be in the letter of acceptance you get in the mail!

Thank you!

I received the email, but it only mentioned that the conditions of the offer and further information will be on the mailed package.

Hey there!

I received a conditional entrance scholarship offer of $4000 from Victoria College when I got my acceptance e-mail from them last month. My acceptance e-mail to U of T itself (which I received on the 15th) didn't say anything about a scholarship, but my acceptance package which came in the mail today offered me an additional $5000 (I think they called it a 'University of Toronto Scholar' award).

My grade eleven top six average was 96%, and my first semester average for this year was 95%. I hope this helps, and best of luck to you!

If your average from first semester was lower than 92%, but you raise your average to over 92% at midterms of semester two, will U of T offer you an entrance scholarship or is it too late?

Ahh I was going too, but I live hours and hours away from Torono, so I couldn't.
How about you? If you did go, how was it? :)

For those who were accepted to Uoft St George, if you would like would you mind telling me your avarage and which faculty you applied to, because i applied to life science at St George UofT with a 94% and i havent gotten accepted yet and i really want to get accepted before mid-term of second semester.

I did go, and it was fun. I was nervous at first, but everyone was really nice and I was able to get answers to a lot of my questions. ^^

I was accepted to the faculty of arts and sciences with an average of 95%. Did you send your application in last minute? I can't really think of any other reason why you wouldn't have gotten an early acceptance, unless life science is a very competitive course. I don't doubt you'll be accepted with that average, but you might not get your e-mail until May. I think that's when the regular acceptances are sent out; I'm not sure whether or not they do another round of early acceptances before then.

no i actually applied pretty early. Do you think they will be accepting more kid prior to may. I dont mean early acceptances because i think early acceptances are over by now, but accpeting kids just ingeneral. Oh btw if its not to much to ask which college/building did you pick as your top choice. I've heard different colleges are more competitive and harder to get in, dont know whether thats a rumor or not.
