Scholarships, Awards & Bursaries
We're excited to make York’s Financial Aid, Awards and Scholarships application (FAAS App) available to students! Fill out your Student Profile using the FAAS App.
Funds from scholarships, awards and bursaries are applied directly to your tuition and other student fees you owe.
If you have a credit remaining on your account after tuition and other charges have been cleared, you may request a refund. If you subsequently withdraw from the academic term or session when an award was disbursed, then the amount of this award may be reduced or fully retracted.
If you need to provide reference letters with your application, the Letter of Reference Guidelines page provides tips for whomever is writing this on your behalf.
If you are not sure how to apply for a specific opportunity, contact Student Support and Advising.
Use the Award Search tool below to find funding opportunities available to you.
Awards are subject to changes and cancellations without notice.
