Frequently Asked Questions

A letter of intent should highlight skills, experiences, and qualities related to the scholarship or award’s requirements.

Although there is a 500-word count limit, it is more crucial that the Letter of Intent not exceed 2 pages.

The Letter of Intent should be addressed to the nomination committee (no specific names needed).

They are both basically the same thing; some awards require an additional document such a statement letter.

Reference letters should be from the organization where one took part in the activity and should have a letter head. Examples can be professors, student club leaders, etc., someone who can speak to your experience. Friends and family are not accepted.

CSR verification is just proof that you have taken part in that activity. Examples of verifications are reference letters (with a letter head) from that person/organization that can speak to your

participation in the activity, registration, etc. to show your involvement.

Please submit departmental awards and scholarships to ugclerk@sfu.ca.

The deadline for the Fall 2022 term is midnight of September 13, 2022.

Our Academic Advisors can help guide you with any questions but we would highly recommend emailing ugclerk@sfu.ca, with any questions regarding the awards and scholarships.

We thank all our applicants but due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are not able to respond to each applicant confirming receipt. However, if you have sent in your application to the correct email address (ugclerk@sfu.ca) then it would have been received and it is under review.

We welcome all students to apply, however, students who meet all the criteria’s will be weighted more in the decision process.

If the terms of reference state that Entrance Scholarship Recipients are not eligible, then unfortunately for those awards those students are not eligible. However, we welcome all students to apply, students that meet all criteria’s will be weighted heavier during the nomination process.

Official communication will be sent to all successful candidates directly from Financial Aid & Awards during the week of October 24, 2022 once the decision has been made.
