  • Be enrolled in at least nine units in your term of eligibility
  • Have a minimum 2.00 CGPA during the term of your contribution

  3. Submit your application form and all applicable documents (e.g., letters of reference, resumes, etc.) to Financial Aid and Awards, Student Services, by the required deadline date(s).
  4. If you are awarded a scholarship and/or award, Financial Aid and Awards will notify you in writing. Due to the high volume of applications received each term, please note that disbursement of funds may not occur until the middle of the term. You are encouraged to plan accordingly.

Note: certain scholarships and awards are awarded only by nomination. If you wish to be considered for these, you should contact the appropriate nominating body as outlined in the terms of reference.

Awards: specific regulations

The following regulations govern all prizes, medals or awards over which the University has jurisdiction.

  • In most cases, nominations are submitted directly to Financial Aid and Awards. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible unless otherwise indicated.
  • Undergraduate students must have achieved a minimum CGPA of 2.00 during the term of their contribution and must not be on academic probation, or in the case of first term or transfer students, must possess an equivalent secondary school or college standing.
  • Undergraduates must be registered in a minimum of nine units of normal graded courses in the term of eligibility. Challenge, audit, and credit free courses are not considered. Students who register in fewer than nine units or subsequently drop below nine units may have their awards cancelled.
  • Candidates must submit an application form to Financial Aid and Awards or be nominated by a member (or members) of the Simon Fraser University faculty, staff, student body or alumni. Individuals submitting a nomination for an award must file the nomination form with Financial Aid and Awards.
  • Normally, only one intervening term will be allowed between the term in which the registered student made their contributions and the term in which the award is adjudicated.
  • Where contributions are over and above usual expectations, remunerated or assigned activities, such as course assignments or teaching duties, may be considered for recognition.
  • Unless otherwise stated, awards are tenable only at Simon Fraser University for the term indicated on the notice and may not be deferred.

External awards

External awards are awards that are not directly administered by the university. SFU Financial Aid and Awards will publicize all known external awards and will provide you with the application form if available. For a select number of awards we will also collect the application form.
