When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the student portal.

Tips for applying

• LetterAvoid writing a generic summary of your time in school. Instead, focus on your specific experiences as a racialized student and how you advocate for your community at the college. Describe one concrete moment where you supported others.
• SupportAvoid submitting your supporting documents before you are asked. Instead, wait until you have submitted the initial application form, as the school will provide specific instructions for document submission afterward.
• StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify which award you are applying for. Instead, clearly write the name of the award on your application form so the committee knows exactly which fund to consider you for.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed grant. Instead, remember that only one $1,000 award is given annually, so you should apply for other bursaries at the same time to increase your chances of funding.
