To be considered for entrance scholarships in the Faculty of Mathematics, you must write the CSMC or the Euclid. If you complete both contests, we'll use the results of the contest in which you performed best. An Admission Information Form is required. We will send you instructions when we acknowledge your application. Not an Ontario high school student? We'll accept equivalent courses from other provinces and systems of study.
