Awards and Scholarships at Mohawk College

Welcome to the Awards Website. This is your portal to applying online for awards that can provide you with the finances you need to successfully complete college while managing your debt. There are hundreds of awards listed on the website. Some awards require a general application while others are faculty selected and an application is unnecessary. The best way to utilize the search engine is to search for awards by deadline date or school/group. Pick an award that interests you, complete the application and the Awards Office will consider your application for all the awards where you meet the criterion. The general application deadline for the fall term is August 1^st and for the winter term is January 12^th. Thank you for your interest in awards and scholarships at Mohawk College.  Instructions on how to use the online application system are identified below.
