How to Apply for Awards and Scholarships

To complete your Student Profile form:

1. Select Student Profile from the Application dropdown menu on the Select an Application page.

You must complete the Student Profile as the first step. The Student Profile is where you will apply for Institutional or Faculty awards. Make sure you have completed each section. You will know if a section is complete when a red check mark appears next to it (Pro-tip: we suggest using a Word Document to write your entries first, so the system doesn’t time out on you). Please ensure you click on “Submit Application", and you will be considered for all awards that you meet the criteria for in each category. The Student Profile must be submitted once per academic year.

2. Click on the link for the first section, General Questionnaire, to begin filling out your Student Profile.
3. For each section, answer all questions to the best of your ability.
4. When you have answered all the questions within a section, select Mark this section complete and click on the Continue button to go to the next section.
5. You will see a "Completed" next to each section that you have completed. You will see a "Pending" next to each section that is pending (i.e. incomplete).
6. Once you have completed all six (6) required sections — i.e. all sections have a red checkmark — click on the Submit Application button.
7. You will now see the Submit Application page with a message confirming that your application was successfully submitted.

To view the awards applications:

1. Select the Click Here to View Additional Awards Applications link on the Submit Application page. (This page is displayed immediately upon submission of the Student Profile). If there are any additional awards applicable to you based on your profile, you may click the link and apply.
   or
   Find the "Financial Aid & Student Awards" card on the "All Cards" or "OSAP & Awards" page and then select the "Apply for Student Awards" link.
   
   You will now see the Select Aid Year and Period page.

Please note: If you have not yet registered for the term with a full-time or part-time course load in a full-time program, you will not be able to continue. If you later register for classes with a full-time course load, please re-submit your Student Profile and then continue Step 3.

2. Use the Application dropdown menu to see the awards applications that are available to you.

Please note: The awards applications which appear in the Application dropdown menu will vary according to your program registration, course load, and declaration of identity. You will only be shown applications for awards groups that you may potentially be eligible for.

In most cases, individual awards will not appear on awards applications. Instead, you will be asked to apply for an awards group — e.g. George Brown Polytechnic Entrance Awards — and you will then be considered for all the individual awards within that group.
