How to Apply for Full-Time Awards in 5 Easy Steps

    To be considered for the majority of awards, an application letter uploaded into your Scholarships and Bursaries Application is required. Download the Application Letter Helpful Tips (PDF) for advice about what to include in your letter.
  2. Download your Co-Curricular Record (optional)
    Your Co-Curricular Record (CCR) (opens in new window) is a non-academic transcript where students can track on and off-campus community involvement such as volunteering and leadership opportunities. Many of our awards require volunteer experience. Your CCR can include verified volunteer involvement and will assist us in reviews for those awards.
  3. Prepare your budget
    Download the Budget Form (Excel) to assist you with filling in the budget section of the Scholarships and Bursaries Application. You do not need to submit your budget form.
