nominate for entrance scholarships
Graduate Entrance Scholarships are run in goGRAD/Slate in tandem with the graduate admission cycle for the following reasons:
- most admission applicants cannot access the award system until about a month before their start term
- to reduce the amount of documentation
- to assist with funding plans; units will know the winners of large awards prior to internal award deadlines
Candidates invited after April 30 will be considered in the next year’s Entrance Scholarship competition.
To access Entrance Scholarships Information in goGRAD/Slate:
- Use the administrative side of Slate to run the Entrance Award Candidates Query at any time.
- In the Reader, programs can access an Entrance Scholarship workflow to view and nominate scholarship candidates.
This feature is only available in May.
How to Identify, Invite and Nominate for Entrance Scholarships
Step 1: Units Invite Candidates (throughout the admission cycle)
Units identify potential candidates during the admission cycle by selecting the relevant scholarship option(s) on the Admission Recommendation Form.
Slate automatically sends the candidate an invitation to apply for Entrance Scholarships. The application includes:
- Two short text responses describing their research or interests
- A statement explaining their fit for the award
