Applying for Awards and AI Text-generating Tools:
Just like writing an essay or taking a test, students must follow the principles of academic integrity when applying for awards (e.g., honesty, respect, fairness, and responsibility). Personal statements and declarations, reference letters, resumes/CV’s, or any other personal information submitted for an award, is expected to be in the student’s own voice and honestly reflect their experience, achievements and personal story. AI text-generating tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Bing, Notion AI) should not be used to create or falsely embellish any information submitted for an award. Using AI text-generating tools for functional purposes (e.g. editing original prose, improving grammar/punctuation, translating words) is permitted, as long as its use is acknowledged by the student. An informal statement should be included at the end of each submitted document to acknowledge the use of AI text-generating tools, if applicable (e.g., at the end of the personal statement: “ChatGPT used for grammar/punctuation”). It is not recommended to include private or confidential information when using a Generative AI tool as it may become part of the Large Language Model being used and, therefore, potentially available to others. If students are unsure whether their use of AI tools is acceptable for an award application, they should consult with the Awards and Financial Aid office for advice. We will be happy to help.

Listed below are the available award opportunities. Award values are subject to change. The majority of these awards are open from August to October (Fall term).
