OMSBF Named Bursaries

The Ontario Medical Student Bursary Fund was established in 1999 in response to rising tuition fees and the mounting debt Ontario medical students experienced. All students enrolled in an Ontario medical school are eligible for an OMF general bursary of $3,000. Every year the financial aid office at each medical school nominates students who are in the greatest financial need. 

 

Applications will be accepted until Monday, February 7, 2022
