U WINDSOR FUTURE STUDENTS - NOTE

I am writing to you today to provide you with two updates from the Office of Student Awards and Financial Aid at the University of Windsor.

First, it has come to our attention that students who have accepted an admission can only access the Entering Student Profile available on the 'Tasks' tile.  If this is the case, please follow the necessary steps as outlined on the profile tile.

Students who do not yet have an offer of admission or who have an offer of admission but have not yet accepted their offer of admission, do not currently have access to the 'Tasks' tile in order to complete their UWinAward Entering Student Profile.  We are working on the issue with IT.Please note that students can begin completing their templates and preparing their submission, including requesting letters of reference.  Please ensure that you allow sufficient time for your references to prepare your letters.  Once the issue has been resolved, your completed templates and letters of reference can be uploaded to your profile and submitted.

Students can access the templates on our website: http://www.uwindsor.ca/studentawards/entering-students . The files are under the heading "Awards for Entering Students." These files are the same ones found on the 'Tasks' Tile.

Second, our Office is offering free webinars during the day and in the evening to aid with the new UWinAward Entering Student Profile. These webinars will cover topics such as scholarships, bursaries, and awards offered at the University of Windsor, how to navigate the Entering Student Profile (for grade 12 students entering the University), and the various ways to budget for your post secondary education. March 31^st, 2019 is the deadline in which all entering student award profiles must be completed and submitted. This will help to ensure that students will be considered for the various forms of financial aid at the University of Windsor.

The webinars are intended to assist incoming students, parents, guardians, guidance counsellors and University of Windsor staff. Should you have specific questions regarding the UWinAward Entering Student Profile or have students who are inquiring about entrance awards, scholarships, or bursaries please feel free to contact the Student Awards Outreach Coordinator, Cessidia De Biasio, via email (cdebiasi@uwindsor.ca) or by phone: (519) 253-3000 ext. 4185.

The full list of webinar dates can be found on the Student Awards and Financial Aid website: http://www.uwindsor.ca/studentawards/366/award-search-webinar-registration
