Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS)
Students applying to Communication Sciences and Disorders through ORPAS are eligible to apply for OGS but the process for applying has not been defined as of yet. Please watch this website closely for details. In the meantime, students are advised to make contact with referees to alert them that they will be contacted to submit an online reference, possibly at short notice. Students would also be wise to start to prepare your personal statement, list of academic accomplishments, publications, awards, etc. and be ready to copy into the OGS application once available to you.
The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) Program is jointly funded between the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) and matched funding through donations to The University of Western Ontario. The Ontario Graduate Scholarships are designed to encourage excellence in graduate studies at the master's and doctoral levels.
Undergraduate students are eligible to apply in their final year of undergraduate study if they are planning to apply for graduate studies. Undergraduate students planning to apply for an OGS will apply through the university and program to which they are applying for graduate school.
The Ontario Graduate Scholarship Application is now available online. To begin an Ontario Graduate Scholarship application please visit the Graduate Student Portal, log in and select "OGS Application" If you have any questions concerning the OGS application please contact Ashley Jokhu.
The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will be holding "Consult the Experts" sessions once again this year. This is an excellent opportunity to talk about your OGS application, ask questions, edit your personal statement, etc. The sessions will be held on Fridays from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. in Stevenson Hall, 3rd floor. If you are a non-Western student but are applying for graduate studies at Western and also applying for OGS, feel free to attend any of these sessions.
