Patient of Patience

Hey, JTMurray.

Thanks for answering people's questions here. It's very helpful!

If you don't mind, I have a funding-related question. (It's sort of a network of questions.)

I'm familiar with the standard funding opportunities that the program, university, and government offers. (I have in mind government-funded awards (e.g., CGS - M and OGS), government-funded assistance (e.g., OSAP), entrance scholarships (e.g., $5K, $3K), and UTAPS.) However, I'm wondering whether there are any other funding opportunities that you're aware of. Are there any bursaries/scholarships/etc. that you knew (or wish you knew) about before going into first year? As someone who would certainly benefit from financial assistance, I'm interested in hearing about any additional resourses you might be aware of.

Thanks again for your guidance!

Any more offers/financial decisions yet today?

Yes, that seems correct. Based on what I've been able to find, first-round offers were made on the following days during the past four years:
 
2014: Wednesday March 12th
2013: Wednesday March 6th
2012: Monday March 5th
2011: Tuesday March 8th
 
(This information could be incorrect, though. Please take it with a grain of salt.)
 
If I was a betting person, I would bet that first-round offers go out either tomorrow (Wednesday, March 4th) or next Wednesday (March 11th).

Thanks for the information, Poliphilo.
 
Based on what you were told, it sounds like first-round offers will go out this week or next week. (Next Friday is March 13th -- which is definitely mid-march -- so my guess is that some people will be accepted by then.)

I've also applied to the School of Public Policy & Governance at U of T.
 
I have a 3.90 cumulative GPA. I'm currently an undergraduate student at U of T, and my formal academic training is in the humanities.
