Each year, the Rotman School grants entrance scholarships, fellowships and awards to approximately one third of our students. These are offered on the basis of exceptional merit and typically range from $10,000 to half tuition. No separate award application is required and you will be automatically considered for these awards when your application is reviewed for admission.
The Rotman School offers a number of scholarships, fellowships and awards to students who have completed the first year of their MBA program. Administered through the Program Services Office, the call of applications (where required) takes place at the end of the Spring Term each year. Most are available to both domestic and international students on the basis of academic merit, while some also consider financial need
The Rotman School offers an academic mentorship program for first-year core courses. Upper-year MBA students with an excellent academic record in a particular course and demonstrated communication skills will be selected to provide academic guidance and support to first-year students. Applications for Rotman Scholar Awards are available at the end of the Spring Term each year.
Rotman Team Coach Awards have been established to recognize achievement and allow MBA students to both demonstrate and enhance their leadership skills by providing coaching and mentorship to the first year MBA project teams. These opportunities are uniquely suited to upper-year students who have experienced the core MBA team experience and therefore have an understanding of the challenges and opportunities that students face in the Rotman MBA core set of courses.
Team Coaches are selected on the basis of strong communication and leadership skills, a demonstrated understanding of team processes and a belief in the value of teams.
Applications for Rotman Team Coach Awards are available at the end of the Spring Term each year.
Jointly supported by the Ontario Government, the University of Toronto and generous donors to the Rotman School these scholarships are intended to encourage and support academic excellence at the master’s and doctoral levels and are awarded to students enrolled in full-time studies who have obtained a first class standing.

The Skoll BASc/MBA program is supported by the generous contributions of the Jeffrey Skoll Foundation and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). These gifts, gratefully received by the University, were matched through a Government of Ontario program called Ontario Students Opportunity Trust Fund (OSOTF).
These scholarships are awarded to students in the BASc/MBA program in the Rotman School who have displayed high academic merit in their first three years of Engineering studies and who have a high level of leadership potential. Additional preference will be given to students who demonstrate financial need.
Eligible students may receive a Skoll scholarship which helps to defray the difference between tuition fees in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and those at the Rotman School of Management. A further award from the CIBC scholarship may be available to eligible students, the amount of which varies from year to year depending upon the number of recipients.
Applications are submitted to the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.
Students with a PhD in a health-related field and wishing to pursue an MBA as their next step to a career supporting innovation in Canada should consider the S2B scholarship. This initiative is a partnership with Canadian business schools to encourage individuals with PhDs in a health-related discipline to pursue an MBA. It is anticipated that graduates of S2B-supported MBAs will pursue careers in research, management, regulatory affairs, public policy, patent law, and other specialties required to improve capacity and performance of commercialization and innovation. The long-term goal of this program is to develop a cadre of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists knowledgeable in health research and business management and foster an entrepreneurial culture within the research community.
Applicants must:
- Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Have targeted an MBA program in Canada to which they have applied or are planning to apply with a program start date between January 1st of the year they apply to the Science to business program and July 1st of the following yearHave obtained a PhD in a health-related field. Applicants who are expecting to receive a PhD after the application deadline may apply, however, the award will be contingent upon receipt of a confirmation of completion of all requirements of the PhD program. To be considered eligible, the applicant must provide a justification that the PhD topic of research was relevant to one or more of the CIHR areas of research.
The maximum amount awarded for a single award will be $30,000 per annum for up to two years ($30,000 per annum pro-rated monthly while registered in full-time classes; $15,000 per annum pro-rated monthly while registered in part-time classes).
