GENERAL POINTERS ON PREPARING
FINANCIAL AWARDS APPLICATIONS
1. Start early: It takes time to prepare a good application, time for the office staff to
prepare transcripts, time for teachers to write letters of reference, time for you to revise
your application.
2. Keep originals: Save originals for your final copy and use photocopied forms for
working copies. Always keep a photocopy of your completed applications and data.
3. Maintain Quality: Your letters, résumés, or essays should look as good as possible, typed
or neatly handwritten as indicated. Use quality paper. Competition for large scholarships
is fierce.
4. Use the writing process to write your essays or letters:





Generating
Drafting
Revising
Editing
Publishing
See page 12 - “Writing a Letter or Essay for a Financial Award”
5. Recommendations or Letters of Reference: Allow sufficient time for your referee to
write you letters (at least two weeks). Don’t ask on Wednesday for a letter for Friday.
Provide a completed “Request for a Letter of Reference” form. See the Career Resource
Assistant in the Career Centre for further copies. Teachers and Administration will be
requesting this before they will start a letter of reference.
If possible, include a copy of the award for which you are applying. Knowing the criteria
the award is based on assists the person writing a letter of recommendation.
See page 11: “Obtaining a Letter of Reference for a Financial Award”
6. Signature: Make sure you sign the application form where required
7. Social Insurance Number (SIN): Have a Social Insurance Number. Several of the major
financial awards require it. Indicate that one can be provided. Do not include this
information unless specifically requested.
POST-SECONDARY FINANCIAL PLANNING HANDBOOK

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
POST-SECONDARY FINANCIAL AWARDS
Students considering applying for any type of financial award should research the scholarships for
which they wish to apply. This research should include the following:
Admission Applications: Admission applications to post secondary institutions are separate
forms with individual deadlines. These applications may be mailed or students may register
online.
Award Applications: Financial award application forms should be requested well in advance
of the deadline for submitting completed forms. Application forms may be available in the Career
Center or online. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain application forms, and to
complete the necessary documentation. Read and re-read the application instructions.
Deadlines: These dates must be strictly followed. Some financial awards specify the date as
“postmarked” or “received by”. Avoid disqualification. Prepare and mail your applications early.
Documents: Each financial award requires specific documents such as interim marks, or a
letter of reference.
Essays: Some financial awards require the applicant to write an essay. Stick to the length,
format and subject matter as requested. If your goals are requested, include short term and longterm goals.
Exams: Some financial awards require the writing of government exams. High academic
criteria scholarships may require specific exam results, such as the Euclid Math Exam results.
Marks / Percentages and Scores: A main criteria for a major entrance scholarship is a high
GPA (grade point average). Some scholarships request that candidates be at the top percentile of
their graduating class. A good procedure is to discuss your candidacy with your counsellor.
Nominations: Some financial awards, usually high academic or entrance scholarships, require
that the school or Principal nominate only one student for a specific award. Financial awards that
require nominations usually have early deadline applications.
Service: More scholarships/awards/bursaries are including service in their criteria. Service may
include volunteer activities in school or in the community. Brainstorm and check with a friend.
Quite often we do not give ourselves credit for what we have accomplished.
Attention All Students Applying For A
Financial Award
Scholarship and Financial Award Selection committees consider both academic achievement
and community involvement. Therefore, volunteer work, work experience, extracurricular
involvement and student leadership activities are essential to success.
POST-SECONDARY FINANCIAL PLANNING HANDBOOK
-8-
OBTAINING A LETTER OF REFERENCE FOR A
FINANCIAL AWARD
Try to get a mix of supporting letters, ie: a teacher, an employer; someone from the community.
Make certain that the people you choose will speak positively about you. It is difficult for people
to write a letter for someone about whom they have reservations. The tone will likely be evident
in the letter. Ask the person if they have any reservations about writing a letter of
recommendation or support on your behalf.
Provide the person with a summary of details about yourself (Request for a Letter of Reference
Form—can be picked up in the Career Centre or downloaded on the PM Career Centre
Wiki under “Handbook”). Even if they don’t use all of the information it will help them to
make general statements about you.
Specify those things that you would like to see included in the letter. These might include the
following:
a) your character
b) your accomplishments
c) unique characteristics
d) volunteer experience and service, clubs, etc.
e) awards and prizes
f) academic standing if it is relevant to that person
g) academic qualities if it is relevant
h) interests as they relate to the award
It is common courtesy to provide as much information as possible and to request as early as
possible, any documentation or reference letters you may require.
Please see the “Request For A Letter of Reference”. This form must be completed before
requesting a letter of support. Teachers and administrators will not provide letters without this
completed form.
POST-SECONDARY FINANCIAL PLANNING HANDBOOK
-9-
WRITING A LETTER OR ESSAY FOR A
FINANCIAL AWARD
If specific information is required, pay careful attention that all details are covered. The
committee screening the applications will be looking specifically for that information.
Keep the tone of the letter or essay formal. If it is a letter, use a standard business letter format. If
it is an essay, use the writing process as outlined on page 9. The committee will be looking for
content, but they will also be influenced by style.
You should consider including the following:

how specific subjects have influenced you

a brief outline of your interests, hobbies and activities

a brief summary of positions and offices held by you in school, youth organizations
and/or the community

a short statement of your purpose in seeking to attend a specific post-secondary
institution

information concerning awards, scholarships and prizes won by you in any field

details of employment in the last two years

details of any volunteer work you have done
Type the document, unless otherwise stated. If you are handwriting the final copy, make certain it
is neat and legible. Use 8 ½ X 11 inch white paper, one side only.
Do not assume that the committee will read between the lines. If you have done something
noteworthy, include it. Most financial awards will have many worthy candidates. The better job
you do of selling yourself, the better chance you will have of receiving an award.
