The awards listed below are based on financial need, therefore those students already receiving OSAP will be automatically considered. For those not receiving OSAP, you are required to fill out an Undergraduate Grant Application and submit it to the EEB Undergraduate Office (ES3055B) by Friday, June 15, 2012.
