1. Introduction to scholarship A scholarship is a type of financial aid, in the form of a grant that does not have to be repaid by the recipient. Scholarships are most often given to students for one of two reasons: achievement in academics or other areas, or financial need. 2. FAQs 2.1. When does the Office of Student Financial Services make scholarship decisions/offers? Scholarship decisions and offers are made after admission offers are sent to students, beginning February and continuing through the beginning of the fall semester. Scholarship funds are extremely limited and highly competitive. Every scholarship committee reviews many applications each year. Unfortunately, many qualified students do not receive awards. Only scholarship award recipients will receive official notification from the committees. The scholarship committees in the Office of Student Financial Services generally make their final decisions and will begin notifying award recipients in early April. Though OSFS awards scholarships throughout the calendar year, the office awards the bulk of its scholarships for the upcoming year by the beginning of June. 2.2. What needs to happen in order for me to get my undergraduate scholarship? When you are awarded a scholarship you will receive an offer letter which will ask you to accept (or decline) the scholarship offer and complete various forms including bank account details. You must return these forms by the due date. Before making the scholarship payment to you, the Scholarships Office has to ensure that you are meeting the conditions of the scholarship at the census date each semester (31 March and 31 August each year). This usually means checking that students are enrolled on a full time basis (i.e. 75% of full course load) and have achieved satisfactory academic progress over the past semester/s. For most undergraduate scholarships directly administered by the University, scholarship payments are usually made twice yearly in April/May and September each year. 2.3. When are scholarship payments usually made? For most undergraduate scholarships directly administered by the University, scholarship payments are usually made twice yearly in April/May and September each year.
