SupportAvoid submitting a vague letter of recommendation. Instead, work closely with your counsellor to ensure their letter of support explicitly confirms you are a client of the service. Schedule a meeting with them well before the December 5th deadline.
StrategyAvoid applying in isolation. Instead, start the process by speaking directly with a counsellor in Student Counselling Services. They are the primary gateway to this award and can help you coordinate your application materials.
