Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing only a total income number. Instead, explain the specific challenges you face in paying for your education. Provide a clear breakdown of your monthly expenses and gaps in your funding.
• GradesAvoid letting your course load or average slip. Instead, keep an average of 80% or higher and complete at least 24 credit units each year, since the award requires both.
• StrategyAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, highlight your connection to your home community outside the major cities. Explain how coming from a smaller town has shaped your perspective as a business student.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will receive this award. Instead, remember that while 35 students are estimated to receive funding annually, you are competing with other continuing undergraduates. Apply for other bursaries at the school to diversify your options.
