Recruiting and retaining the best students in OAC is important. Congratulating and acknowledging their accomplishments is even more important. To support this, OAC offers a significant range of scholarships, bursaries, awards and travel grants.

Over 687 awards totalling more than $1.5 million, are given out each year to our diploma, undergraduate and graduate students, thanks to the generous support of alumni, donors and industry partners. For more information on all awards, please contact oacaward@uoguelph.ca [1].
