The University of Toronto’s Policy on student financial support states that no student admitted to a program at the university should be unable to enroll or complete the program due to lack of financial means. This policy is applicable only to Canadian citizens and landed immigrants and assumes that students will first access the government aid for which they are eligible. Information regarding the various provincial loan programs is available on the Admissions and Awards web-site .

Bursaries (also called grants) are non-repayable sums of money designed to assist students who have first explored all other avenues of financial assistance and who still encounter financial difficulties or are experiencing a sudden change in their financial situation. Bursaries are a source of help in covering modest, and often unexpected shortfalls of income rather than as a principal resource. There are two deadlines to submit a Bursary application; November 1st and February 1st. Bursary applications are available in the Registrar's Office.

Scholarship(s) are awarded to a student for high academic and /or musical achievement. There are a number of scholarships that require the student to be an Ontario resident and demonstrate financial need. With the exception of the Scholarships listed under the application required category, all others do not require an application.
