2020 Winter Emergency Undergraduate Grant Application

The Emergency Undergraduate Grant is to assist undergraduate (domestic and international) students impacted by COVID-19
who have unmet financial need with respect to their 2020 March – April educational expenses.

The Emergency Grant aims to assist currently registered undergraduate students who encounter an unanticipated financial
emergency. The grant is intended to help provide immediate short-term relief of such financial need and is not intended as a
source of long-term funding

It is expected that prior to applying for this grant, students will have explored all sources of funding such as family
support, savings and study period income, OSAP or other government assistance programs, daycare subsidies, and
bank lines of credit as appropriate. University of Toronto grants are not intended to fund non-educational expenses or
to repay your debts.
