John A. Tory JD/MBA Awards provide financial support to students entering the University of Toronto’s combined law and business degree. The award is supported by a gift from the Tory family and administered through the Faculty of Law and Rotman School of Management.
Recipients pursue the four-year JD/MBA in Toronto and graduate with both degrees. The official award pages do not publish the current number of awards, award value, or payment schedule.
Benefits & funding
