4) View Awards by Program
The Program Area field will automatically update to Program-Specific based on your School and Program:
IMPORTANT: Leave the Program Area set to Program-Specific to ensure you only see awards eligible for your program and level
- Note: selecting Any Program allows you to see awards outside your program, but you may not be eligible for all of them. When Program-Specific is selected, it will include the same awards returned under ‘Any Program’ but will be further isolated to your specific program only.
- The ‘Any Program’ filter is ONLY useful for students wanting to change programs where their account has not yet been updated
Note, if you try to apply for an ineligible award, you’ll receive an error message when you click ‘Apply Now’ and you will need to remove the award from your basket:
