Before you can proceed with applying for funding opportunities, you must first complete and submit a Student Profile and a Need Assessment for the current study period.
Once you have submitted your Student Profile, you will be able to review, update and re-submit the profile as needed (i.e. to enter a new Need Assessment or to update the engagement section to reflect most recent volunteer/community work). Please note that a new Need Assessment is required for each application/study period. For Graduate students that would be for Fall, Winter and Summer. For Undergraduate students that would be Fall/Winter and Summer (if applicable).
