SOFT LAUNCH FALL 2024 – Financial Aid, Awards and Scholarships (FAAS) solution
York has transformed the way students get access to the many financial aid, awards, and scholarships opportunities available to them.
This new centralized online solution streamlines government financial aid processing, awards, and scholarships. You will be able to view your scholarship and awards opportunities in one place, search and apply for funding opportunities and even get matched with some automatically. You will also be able to track the applications and receive funding.
To learn more, watch this short, animated video about York’s new solution for Financial Aid, Awards and Scholarships.
The new system will be soft launched in late August/early September 2024. Please note that there will be a multi-year phase-in period to ensure all awards across the University are captured in this system. We will continue to use the Lassonde Fluid Review system for Lassonde specific graduate awards that are to be adjudicated for 25-26 academic year. .
Overview:
The Computer Science & Engineering Outstanding Thesis & Dissertation Prize will be awarded to recognize the outstanding achievement of graduate students who are considered among the top most candidate from the graduate program.
There is no formal application process, as consideration for this prize will be done automatically by the graduate program. Please contact the Graduate Program in Computer Science & Engineering for more information about this award.
