Kategori: Beasiswa luar negeri s2 (master, pascasarjana) s3 (dokto, doktoral) di Kanada
Purpose and Value of the Award
The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) program is designed to encourage excellence in graduate studies at the master’s and doctoral levels.
An Ontario Graduate Scholarship is awarded for one academic year, which may consist of two or three consecutive terms. One-term awards are not granted. For 2006–2007, the value of the OGS is $5,000 per term. Thus, you may receive $10,000 for two consecutive terms or $15,000 for three consecutive terms. The province of Ontario contributes two-thirds of this amount and the university provides one-third.

For the 2006–2007 academic year, a total of 2,000 scholarships will be awarded. Of these, 60 scholarships will be awarded to students who have been admitted to Canada as visitors with a student visa.
In addition, some of these scholarships, called institutional scholarships, will be awarded to nominated students at selected universities – namely, Lakehead University, Laurentian University, Ryerson Polytechnic University, and Trent University. These universities may nominate up to ten students each for the institutional scholarships. Nominated students must pursue their graduate studies at the nominating university. To be eligible, nominees must meet the citizenship requirements, be approved by the selection board, and satisfy all conditions of eligibility.
