First, thank you so much for doing this video. I have a question: If I am graduated after June 2021 ( exactly at the end of July 2021) and now I am going to choose my university, can I apply for this scholarship? Or I have to take a gap year to apply?
Hi Zohair! Thank you very much for your detailed guide, it has really been helpful. However, I still have a question: what would happen if I wouldn't get the scholarship? Would I have the possibility of winning other scholarships and ideally ask for a student's loan? Thank you in advance :)
Glad the video was helpful !! Lester B. Pearson scholarship selection is done independent of other scholarship considerations. So if you don't get it and you have a good profile, you will be considered for other scholarships (assuming you are admitted to U of T). You can also ask for student loan. Personally, I did not get the Lester B. Pearson scholarship, but did receive admission into both of my program choices and was also awarded the U of T International Scholars award (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3R6MivWzGR8.html).
@@ZohairAnsari do you automatically get considered into other scholarships when you apply for u of t or do you have to specifically apply to those scholarships? And if you do have to apply separately to scholarships, would you do that before you get admitted as a student?
Hey Zohair, thank you so much for this video! The details were very helpful. I was wondering if onw has applied for the Pearson scholarship and gets rejected, would they still receive the other scholarships that UofT offeres for international students like the International Scholars Award and other enterence scholarships?
I have a question. I am a 3rd-year university student, but due to some political issues in our country I hiatus from my education process. And our country doesn't have 12 years education program but the university website said they accept the students who are completed their first year in their university for my country. Do I need to take SAT to get consideration for a scholarship or it is okay if I don't have SAT? I really can't afford to attend U of Ts if I don't get a full scholarship so hope you can answer my question. Thanks.
Hey Brother, I'd like to request a video (if possible) Could you please make a list of 10+ maximum scholarship opportunities in Canadian Universities for international undergraduate students (I just know about three awards, Lester B Pearson scholarship, UBC's ILOT, and York's International entrance award)
Alright brother, thanks for the idea. Apart from your requested video, I am planning on releasing a video series that will show 50+ scholarship opportunities for international students esp. Indians to study abroad. 😉
Thank You Sohair for your amazing videos. Can you make video about the student scholarship questions and essays and read us your answers pls. Stay blessed ❤
@@Ciiyaaraha Bro, I have already shared the student scholarship essay questions in one of my videos. See this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sTdgvRtM--4.html
@@ZohairAnsari yeah I've seen the Qs but I wanted to see your answers and the format you used just to take some tips of how to answer the questions. You can leave me your email if you can't share your essays in public if that's making you uncomfortable bro.
Thank you for this vid! If I could, may I ask if you paid for the English Language Requirements? I've been on a struggle since there is no near IELTS centre near my location; for the duolingo english test, are there any fees that is needed to be paid? Thank you so much.
Yes, I did pay around $180 for my IELTS exam. If you can't give the IELTS, there are other tests you can take to meet the English Language Requirements like TOEFL or Duolingo English Test. Both of them have testing fee but Duolingo English test is way cheaper and easier (It costs $49).
Hi actually i wanted to know that i am currently in class 12 but i dont have maths so can i do bba in ubc or u of t or albetra , is maths imp for bba . Secondly i am expecting 80 %+ in business studies so can i get in ubc or u of t or albertra do i have chance pls tell
Hi! Thanks for the video. Do you know if your school has to submit any reference letter or any evidence for this scholarship? Or is this solely based on my academic results and my essays?
Your school nominates you and apart from that, they are not required to submit anything except if it is required in the U of T admission process (for the particular programs you are applying to).
Thanks for all the effort to benefit others! I have a question about this scholarship, if the student has a Canadian citizenship but study high school aboard, now applying the UofT through the international stream (aka IB) since they cannot apply through canadian high school stream, does this student eligible to apply Pearson scholarship? Or any other scholarship to advice?
Hey! Thank you for this video. I am actually in the process of submitting my OUAC application and I just wanted to know a few things - I am applying for this scholarship and I wondered if the essay prompts are same for each year or not? Also, I do plan to give my IELTS in January - however in my OUAC, I don't find submitting the IELTs test score option, it just asks for the consent. What's like the thing about it? And lastly, for submitting my transcripts, which will be done through WES as directed by OUAC portal - what do you recommend WES basic or WES ICAP? I am applying to 7 schools in Ontario
I don't know whether the prompts are same every year, I just shared the prompts I got. Once you submit your OUAC Application, you'll receive the login details for Join U of T portal, there you'll be able to send your IELTS score and see if the university has received them. Sorry, I don't know much about WES 😅
Thank you so much ❤️ this vedio was really informative ..i want to graduate in engineering programs what are the types of extracurriculars needed for pursuing it!??
Internships at a company would help a lot or building products (offline or online) that help other. Though don't know much about chemical or astronomical engineering 😅
Thank you so much I am glad that you made such a useful video.But i have a question if I graduated 20/21 academic year.My school still can recommend me?
Thank you so much for the video❤️❤️❤️❤️ it is really really really very informative. I wanted to ask one main thing. You said that for applying this scholarship we need to create the OUAC account.., but after watching your another admission RU-vid video there is some application fee need to pay in the OUAC account(180CAD). So for the scholarship do we need to pay in the OUAC account fee i.e 180 Canadian dollars. So in short do we need to pay 180CAD$ for this scholarship???? PLEASEEEE REPLY.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes you are right !! To apply for the scholarship, you should've applied to U of T and to apply to U of T, you need to pay 180 CAD. In short, Applying for the scholarship = Apply to U of T (through OUAC) + Pay 180 CAD.
Thank you! I have a question: if you are nominated, does the email get to you immediately or does it take days before the school sends the application to you.
Hello Zohair, I really liked your video; it gave me a slimmer of hope. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our Board Exams were held in December 2021, and the results were published in February 2022. The deadline for Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship was 15 January 2022. I match all the requirements and criteria for this scholarship, I'm also positive that my school will nominate me if I was to apply. Can I still apply for the scholarship? If not, will I still be eligible for the scholarship of 2023?
Hey Ahmed, Unforunately, can't apply this year since the application process is over and you won't be able to apply next year for the fall of 2023 because you won't be eligible for it. Don't worry, there are other great scholarship opportunities as well. You can check them out here: ru-vid.com/group/PLfRKeulBOSep0by4lBdztsUUO4ONHPbzP
Hi Zohair, Do you mind sharing your scholarship essays for the Lester B. Pearson Award, so we can just gain some understanding. There is very limited info on the essay samples for the Pearson scholarship apart from the info displayed on their website.
hey dude! may you tell us that in how many days did your school receive confirmation mail after registration that now they can nominate a student! actually my school got registered and its been three weeks there's no response. and i'm worried.....please help
Hey , my school counselor was going through the nomination form I sent her , so she said it asks for the diploma that school offers but there is no diploma that cisce council offers. So what should we fill in there ?
I don't know what you should fill there but I would suggest you to contact the Lester B. Pearson Scholarship Team and let them know your problem (pearson.scholarship@utoronto.ca).
Hey Zohair, what if someone is declined from their first choice and gets accepted in second or third.. so they won't be eligible for Lester b pearson...
Can i ask you a question? So if the scholarship only accept our first choice, what if we are not accepted by our first choice and are accepted by our second choice instead? Are we still considered as a rewarder or not?
It rarely happens that you get a rejection from your first choice program at U of T and you are offered the Lester B. Pearson scholarship. If your first choice program rejects you, you are not getting the scholarship because Lester B. Pearson scholarship is RESTRICTED to your first choice program.
i've just passed class 12 this year. but i haven't cleared IELTS yet.....Can i apply in U of T ..in .next year's fall and this scholarships( after clearing my ielts)?????????????? pls reply
English Proficiency Tests are required by the University and the Embassy. IELTS is just one way of meeting the English Requirements. If you want to apply early, you can take Duolingo English Test for now and later you can take the IELTS for the Student VISA. You can also take IELTS in the coming month (September) to apply to U of T and Lester B. Pearson scholarship by November.
Is it better to apply for January session or for the fall session??? I heard that January session have less acceptance rate???? And what was your SAT score????
This is for studying law in Canada- What is the process of becoming a corporate lawyer in Canada? Do I have to get a bachelors degree (can it be from any university) and an LLM from U of T? Will those to be enough or will I need anything more?
Hi hope you are well I want to ask if I am having background of ICS intermediate with 90% plus scores and having Ielts with overall 6.5 band can I get this scholarship ?
4 star and 4A in o level, all 3 A in AS level and A2, IELTS score 8, is it possible to get fullfunded schorship in U of T for cs in undergred? Pls affirm on real case. Pls
Your academic profile is quite competitive but as I said in the video Academics are just one part of the whole selection process. You need make your overall profile competitive by engaging in strong, impactful extracurriculars and writing compelling essays. Then only you'll have a good chance of getting this scholarship. 👍
Thank you so much for the detailed guide. But I would like to ask, can I still apply for the scholarship if I took 2 years off after graduating in highschool?
I passed my 12th class last year, am I eligible for this? My school is not aware of this scheme and I'm a pass out student now so they don't seem to bother about it. Please help
Hey! Thanks for the video. I had a question. So the application deadline for OUAC is 15th December and my degree requires me to fill up a supplementary application form. Does that form have essays? Is the deadline for that form also 15th December because as far as I know your can only fill the form after you have received you JoinID or something
Supplementary application can only be accessed through the Join U of T portal, which you can only open once U of T receives your OUAC Application and sends you the login credentials for Join U of T portal. Supplementary application varies a lot depending on the program, it can have essays, video interviews, online profile etc.
Hi Zohair, thanks for the well-told guide. It is really informative and helpful I have a question; I have applied to U of T and now I am currently doing the lester b pearson scholarship application. Is there any criteria for the amount of money for the question "How much will your parents, guardians or other family contribute each year while you are at university (in Canadian dollars)?" and "How much do you expect to have saved personally to fund your university studies (in Canadian dollars)?". I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me explain this.
@@ZohairAnsari Thanks for replying my question. What I meant by "Criteria" is range of money that we input. Is there any upper limit or maybe minimum amount of money to answer this qeustion?
@@futuregeneration5825 Honestly, I don't know of any limit. Just put in the amount that your family won't find difficult paying for your education at U of T.
Hi! Zi hair! Thank U really much for the video , really exciting, I have a question for U. If I graduated in November 2021. Can I still aplicate? , if yes. How? Cause in all the research that I have done it says that I gotta get a certification from the UofT to my school and then my school will fill the application. Can U help me please
Hi Michelle, You're welcome. For the fall of 2022, the Lester B. Pearson scholarship application deadline has passed away, so you won't be able to apply this year. Unfortunately, you won't be eligible to apply next year as well (for the fall of 2023) as you won't meet their next year's eligibility criteria of "graduating before June 2022". Don't worry, there are other great scholarships abroad. You can check them out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hsr7zBTTwXg.html If you have any other questions, feel free to DM me on Instagram: instagram.com/zohair_ansari_/

Hi dear i hope you are doing well i just want to confirm that i have completed my btech in 2019 in ECE stream so i have just one year gap of 2020 and in 2021 i have got job in Teamlease Company so should i applied for this scholarship your immediate response will be highly appreciated Thank you
Good Morning Sir !! I m from Bangladesh ...Sir I want to apply for this scholarship ... now presently i m a 12th grader (will be giving boards in year 2021-2022)...I didnt give my IELTS exam yet ... sir is it necessary to give IELTS??? i have been studying in india from 2008 in english boarding school...so from childhood i m well familiar with english .. is it still necessary to give IELTS exam sir??? plzz reply...
IELTS exam is just one way of meeting the English Proficiency Requirements of U of T. You can also take TOEFL or Duolingo English Test. Proof of English Proficiency is an admission requirement and you can only be exempted from it if you studied in a English speaking country. So you'll have to give one or the other test to prove your English proficiency.
@@ZohairAnsari okay sir ..thank you so much !! Sir a request .. could u please make a video about wht kind of essay should we write .. or it would be best if u could share your essays ...I would go through and get some idea for it .. u can share it my email too if u r not comfortable in sharing it in public... Thank you 😊
hello i completed my college in 2020 and currently doing BBA and really want to get a scholarship if U OF T is there any possible way to continue my further study there , so can i get the admission in U OF T or is there any way to apply
I wish to study at U of T in September 2024 and I would graduate high school in April/May 2023. Can I apply to this scholarship during this one gap year?
No, it won't be a problem. Just ask your school to nominate you using the email address you created your OUAC account with. In the scholarship nomination form, U of T asks for the student's email, that's where your school needs to put your email address. I hope this clears your doubt
No, the 180 CAD is only for OUAC Application. Application for the Scholarship is free. As far as I know, there is no fee for the supplementary application. In most cases, no supplementary application is asked by the university. Even I did not have to fill out a supplementary application when I was applying 👍
Hey one more question plz, based on what I am getting from the video, I need to get my school nomination for the scholarship before applying for the admission ???
Please are they applying for the scholarship this year 2024? If they are please can you help me yo apply for the 100% scholarship now before it runs out
Your school can nominate you before you start filling the OUAC using your email address and once you fill your OUAC with the same email address your school mentioned in their nomination, you'll get the student scholarship application link to register. However, I'd suggest you to first fill the OUAC and then ask the school to nominate you.
Am I eligible for this scholarship if I apply after taking a gap? Like next year I'll complete my high school and in September I'll apply for colleges.
Thank you so much for the information I have a question that I am now studying in 11 grade and can I fill my application now or I have to wait unit my grade 12 get finish
It is for final year students, so you can only apply for the scholarship in Grade 12th. The website says that you need to be, "currently in your final year of secondary school or have graduated no earlier than June 2021" to apply.
Hello Zohair! Were you nominated by the school during your 12th grade? My last year in high school will start on August. May I know the timeline that I should follow? Thanks for the informative video btw!
My Mom is in a Government College. She's a professor and also head of the Hindi department. Is she eligible to fill up the form on behalf of that college? I'm studying in 12th in another school not in that college.
Hey I'm planning to move to Canada in fall 2024 for my higher studies but due to some financial problems I'm planning to do diploma in Canada can u pls recommand some good scholarship also hope u will help
I wonder where it is to put some of your certain certificates you've earned in like IELTS or SAT etc. How do I prove what I'm telling them are all true?
Hey man, as a Singaporean student, I have to serve two years of army before I can go to college, do you have any idea if the school will consider deferring my seat and scholarship( If I get them) and let me join two years later?
Hey bro, Your case is unique and I think there might be a way out for you because you're in a legal obligation. I suggest you contact U of T's admissions team for this as they'd be able to provide the right information on it. Thanks.
Bro can you please tell me that how much is the application fee of this scholarship or university of Toronto scholarship ?and how much % is required to will this scholarship ?and how much chances are to win this scholarship on 79%?
i just found out about the scholarship and my school is not verified yet, do you think it makes sence to ask my school to verify if the nomination deadline is in two weeks?
Yes, immediately ask your school to fill out the verification form. If U of T verifies your school before the deadline, then your school can nominate you instantly and you'll get a shot.
Hi! Can you please tell me that I'll pass my 12th class in year 2023 so when should I apply for the scholarship and do i need the IELTS score for the same and is there any fees required for the admission in university/or for applying the scholarship. Thankyou please try to answer.🙏
When will you graduate in 2023? You need the IELTS score to apply to U of T and you need to apply to U of T to apply for the Lester B. Pearson scholarship. You are required to submit the OUAC Application fee of 180 CAD to apply to U of T. If you want to know more about the application process to U of T, please do watch this video 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kuw-vTw99G4.html
The Lester B. Pearson scholarship is for only for students who want to do their bachelors at U of T. So if you are currently enrolled in a bachelors degree or you have completed one you are not eligible to apply for this scholarship. Regarding the second part of your question, I think you'll be able to get into a good university with 7.85 cgpa.
I have a question: was this scolarship available just this year o will it continue to be an option next years? I'll graduate high school In 4 years from now, and I already think I want to study at the UN of Toronto.
The student scholarship application deadline has passed. So you won't be able to apply this year and since this scholarship is only for grade 12th students or students who have recently graduated grade 12th, you won't be eligible to apply next year as well.
