At the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, our students know where they want to go. Each year, the university rewards seven outstanding incoming students with its most prestigious entrance scholarships.
The scholarship program serves to recognize secondary school students for exceptional achievements in academics, leadership and community involvement throughout their high school career.
Major Entrance Scholarships
This year’s Chancellor’s Scholarship recipient is Tessie Pulla-Chin (Nursing) of Oshawa. Choosing the university for its small class sizes and various experiential learning opportunities, Tessie is ready to immerse herself in the full university experience.
The 2018 President’s Scholarship recipients are Erin Mattes (Forensic Psychology) of Whitby and Cristianna Giallo (Biological Science) of Toronto. Both students chose the university for its innovative learning opportunities and inviting atmosphere.
The Founder’s Scholarship recipients are Hannah Oegema (Commerce) of Bowmanville and Courtney Lockhart (Health Science) of Victoria Harbour. Hannah selected the university because she believes it will be the perfect environment to challenge her on the road to success. Courtney chose the university for its hands-on learning opportunities, small class sizes and advanced technology.
Rounding out this year’s domestic recipients is our FIRST Robotics Canada Scholarship recipient, Keegan Post (Nuclear Engineering) of Oshawa. Choosing the university for its unique nuclear engineering program, internship opportunities and proximity to home, Keegan knew this would be the best school to build his career.
The international Global Leadership Award recipient is Aiman Quraishi (Electrical Engineering) of Doha, Qatar. Aiman chose the university for its cutting-edge programs, innovation and commitment to equipping students with the skills needed to succeed in an ever-changing workforce.
“Entrance scholarships are a perfect way for us to show two things to great students who have chosen the University of Ontario Institute of Technology,” says Robert Bailey, PhD, Provost and Vice-President, Academic. “These scholarships not only recognize their past achievements, they also express our confidence in their future academic leadership in our university community.”
