In an exciting opportunity for Pakistani students aiming to study abroad, the University of Toronto in Canada has announced fully funded scholarships for the academic year 2026–27. These scholarships are open to both undergraduate and graduate applicants from around the world, including Pakistan.
Scope and Benefits of the Scholarships
Each year, the University of Toronto offers more than 4,000 admission scholarships across its faculties, colleges, and affiliated campuses, along with around 5,000 in-course awards for continuing students. These scholarships are open to international students in a wide range of disciplines such as architecture, engineering, health sciences, law, social sciences, and information technology.
Award amounts vary depending on merit, academic performance, and financial need. The university provides an online tool called “Award Explorer,” allowing applicants to explore available scholarships and find those best suited to their eligibility and program of interest.
Why It’s Significant for Pakistani Students
This initiative opens doors for Pakistani students to study at one of Canada’s highest-ranked and most prestigious universities. The University of Toronto is globally recognized for its academic excellence, research opportunities, and diverse campus environment.
For many Pakistani students, financial barriers often limit access to international education. These fully funded scholarships offer an excellent opportunity to study abroad without the heavy financial burden, while gaining exposure to a multicultural environment and world-class faculty in Toronto — one of the most diverse cities in North America.
Eligibility, Deadline, and Application Process
The scholarships are available for both undergraduate and graduate programs. While the specific eligibility criteria vary depending on the scholarship, applicants must meet the academic and language requirements of their chosen program at the University of Toronto.
Most of the scholarships do not require a separate application — students are automatically considered when they apply for admission. The deadline for most undergraduate scholarships is January 14, 2025, while graduate program deadlines differ by department.
To apply, students must first complete their admission application to the University of Toronto before the relevant deadline. They should also ensure all necessary documents, such as transcripts, proof of English proficiency, letters of recommendation, and personal statements, are submitted on time.
