In 1998, the Ontario government introduced the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarships in Science and Technology (QEII-GSST), a merit-based scholarship program targeted specifically toward graduate students in science and technology. The QEII-GSST (formerly known as OGSST) program is designed to encourage excellence in graduate studies in science and technology. The program is supported through funds provided by the Province of Ontario and by funds raised by the University of Toronto from the private sector. The province allocates QEII-GSST awards to universities by specifying the number of awards that each university may offer its students annually.
Official award offers will be made by the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and communicated to awardees starting July 2025. The same application is used for both the 2025-26 Ontario Graduate Scholarships and QEII-GSST. Please read the application instructions carefully and review the FAQs.
