• recipients must be intending to pursue full-time graduate studies at the doctoral level in a degree granting program;
• recipients must have achieved a first-class average in each of the two years of full-time study prior to being awarded the OTS;
• recipients must not have completed a previous degree at an Ontario post secondary institution at the undergraduate or graduate level immediately prior to being admitted to the PhD program; recipients must not be currently studying at an Ontario post secondary institution at the undergraduate or graduate level (students currently registered in a PhD program are not eligible)
• recipients must not have concurrently accepted a scholarship from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) (ie. IPS) or Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) and must not concurrently be receiving significant external sponsorships or scholarships (for example, in excess of $10,000)
• recipients who withdraw, transfer to part-time status or fail to complete the term without prior consultation with Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA) may be required to repay the award.
