Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid worrying about a separate scholarship form. Instead, focus on your main admission application since you are automatically considered for this award when you apply to the school. Ensure your admission profile is complete and accurate.
• SupportAvoid relying on a single point of contact for updates. Instead, monitor your official applicant portal and email regularly. Set up alerts for any messages from the admissions office.
• StrategyAvoid treating the admission process as just a formality. Instead, highlight your strengths in your application materials to improve your overall standing. Double-check that you meet all program-specific entry requirements.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will receive the award just because you are considered. Instead, remember that an offer of admission does not mean you will be selected for an entrance scholarship. Plan your budget with other funding options in mind.
