Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid searching for a separate scholarship form. Instead, focus on your main admission application to the school, as you are automatically considered for this award based on that submission.
• SupportAvoid ignoring your admissions officer. Instead, build a relationship with them to confirm that your profile has been flagged for entrance award consideration.
• StrategyAvoid neglecting your first-year grades. Instead, set a strict study schedule to ensure you stay above the 3.30 GPA requirement needed to renew the funding.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will receive the award. Instead, remember that while consideration is automatic, an offer of admission does not mean you will be selected for an entrance scholarship.
