Can you tell me anything about funding packages for full time and part time at U of T? Yeah U of T doesn't have funding packages. However, if you're on OSAP you're automatically considered for UTAPS which are bursaries that cover up to half of your tuition. They covered half of my tuition. In addition, there are a few albeit limited entrance scholarships (I don't know how many, but you're automatically eligible for them upon acceptance). I got one of those. Alllllso, there are internal awards that are needs and merit based. After UTAPS and awards/bursaries, my tuition for the 2 years was just under 3k instead of the 21k. I'm definitely not a typical case though, but most people I know got about half of their tuition covered.

If accepted, I plan on applying for OSAP but not completely sure of what I will do if I get accepted to the full time stream. I work full time and although I can get a 1 year leave from work, I still have financial obligations to meet besides school tuition. A lot to think about.

It's definitely tough, a lot of people have to get part-time jobs for sure. I've worked part-time throughout the entire degree, it's not ideal but it's doable!

Most of the awards and entrance scholarships are for those on OSAP, non? Are there any other options? Really wish, UofT with all of us research and oldest school reputation, had more funding opportunities for their MSW students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this information just based on years past and Yweang's information? Hello! I am not following any of Yweang's information. I am a recent graduate from the one year honours bachelor of social work at Lakehead University. Last year I applied to UofT, as well as the majority of my classmate. Around 12 students got accepted from my Lakehead program into UofT advanced standing MSW on February 9th 2016. Following, they did two more rounds of admissions over the next two weeks for advanced standing. These stats are consistent with previous years, as my partner is in their second year currently of the MSW program, and I first applied two years right out of my first undergraduate degree.

That way, you didn't call, the person who did doesn't care, but you'll get an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
