A number of bursaries ranging from $500 to $6,000 are awarded to students in financial need. Trinity College bursaries are non-repayable awards designed to assist Trinity students who have explored all other avenues of financial assistance and who still demonstrate financial need. Note that in addition to the donor-provided bursary funding previously available, our generous alumni and donors have recently contributed funding for urgent bursary support for students financially impacted by COVID-19, and we have also established a BIPOC Bursary Fund to support students who are Black, Indigenous, or people of colour. All of these funds are available via the Trinity Bursary Application.
Application deadlines are in January for fall-winter terms and in mid-June for the summer term. A short interview will take place at that time to ensure that your application is complete and accurate. However, if your situation is urgent, we can review your application early. If this is the case, please complete the bursary application right away and contact us at trinity.registrar@utoronto.ca to book a virtual appointment.
The Trinity College Bursary Application for Fall/Winter 2022-23 is available online until January 13, 2023.After submitting your application online, you must make a phone or Microsoft Teams appointment with an advisor in the Office of the Registrar to finalize your application. You can schedule an appointment by e-mailing trinity.registrar@utoronto.ca.
