The Student Awards and Scholarships office aims to help Ryerson students and staff with the Scholarship and Awards application process.
We play a central role in the establishment, set-up, promotion, and application process for all current student awards and liaise with program departments regarding their awards applications, assessment, selection processes and for planning and executing a variety of awards events. In 2016, we teamed up with RU Student Life to celebrate students with our inaugural Student Experience Award Celebration.
