Automatic vs Application-Based Awards

Scholarship processes are not all the same. Some awards are automatic, while others need a separate application or school nomination.

Automatic entrance awards

  • Often assessed from your admission application
  • Usually based on grades or admission average
  • May be listed in your offer or student account
  • Still depend on the school's scholarship rules and available funding

Application-based awards

  • May require essays, leadership profiles, references, or portfolios
  • Often have earlier deadlines
  • Some prestigious awards require school nomination
  • Usually need more preparation than automatic awards

How to plan

Track admission deadlines and scholarship deadlines separately. A strong admission application does not automatically cover every award.
