This is for you if you are a high-achieving finance student at the Pilon School of Business who needs extra financial support to complete your degree. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Ask Sheridan College how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Sheridan College during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Sheridan College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
