Are athletic scholarships provided to varsity student-athletes at the University of Ottawa?
Yes, Athletic Financial Awards (AFAs) are provided in abundance to varsity student-athletes. Entering student-athletes with an 80% admissions average can be awarded up to $3500 in AFAs upon recommendation of the head coach (please note that the admissions average used here is not the same as the average used by the University to determine academic entrance awards). Returning student-athletes with a 70% average from the preceding year can also be awarded up to $3500 in AFAs. Returning AFAs are determined based on financial need, merit, nomination by the coach and/or submission of an application, depending on the type of AFA.
