Non-Brescia Awards

Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarship

The Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for Top Tuition Scholarship for undergraduate students is funded by the provincial government and is designed to recognize students who have shown academic excellence at the high school level.

If you are graduating from an Ontario high school, have achieved academic excellence, and will be attending Brescia full-time in the upcoming school year, you may be eligible for a Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarship. You may apply using your OSAP application (booklet or web version). If you are interested in applying for the basic merit amount only, there is a separate application available through the OSAP website.

If you were a Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Tuition Scholarship recipient, your eligibility for continued funding under the program is reviewed after adjudication and updated with the OSAP program in late June/early July.

The Ministry will inform you of the renewal decision by mail in August. If your scholarship is renewed, Brescia will credit the amount of your scholarship to your student account for use in late September. The scholarship is renewable for a maximum of four years at the amount you received in the first year.
