Undergrad Scholarships & Awards
The department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology offers various awards and bursaries for undergraduates in all years. We also offer a variety of summer research awards that present opportunities for students to work in our faculty research labs and in the field.
Award Explorer is a centralized, searchable database of thousands of awards from admissions to in-course and graduating awards. The database holds awards that are funded by the academic divisions, colleges, as well as awards that are institutionally centrally funded by the University of Toronto. This tool can help you explore the diverse funding opportunities available to you.
