Enhanced Skills Program: Education Scholar

For funding eligibility, please see the main Enhanced Skills Program Admissions page. N.B.: Those enrolled in a PGY3 Enhanced Skills Program at the time of application are NOT eligible to apply to another PGY3 Enhanced Skills position.

Applications will be screened and interviewed for a maximum of two (2) selected candidates per year.

The successful candidate must meet the admissions committee criteria.

Candidates in the program will be encouraged to participate part-time in relevant graduate-level courses during their enhanced skills year at the University of Toronto i.e. MEd, MScCH (HPTE) or equivalent education experience.

Applicants who are interested in pursuing a relevant education Master's degree program are strongly encouraged to contact potential graduate supervisors prior to or concurrent with their application. This will help them identify which U of T graduate programs that they may potentially apply to as well as clarify details of potential scholarly projects for the PGY3 year, research supervision, course work and/or other scholarly components of their course of study. Applicants who would like guidance or have questions about finding a supervisor are encouraged to contact the Program Director as soon as possible.
