FAQ

How can CCA advisors support students in their application of the scholarship?

CCA advisors should look through their respective CCA groups comprehensively to identify any outstanding contributors, and find out more about their background information. Should they be deemed suitable for the scholarship, advisors should encourage these students to apply before the deadline.

How can CCA advisors know the students’ gross monthly household per capita income (PCI), or if they are already holders of other scholarships or bursaries?

Unless advisors have the students’ full family income documents, they will not be able to know their PCI. However, advisors can check the Student Profile System under the tab ‘Financial Award’ to get a sense of the students’ PCI, as well as the financial assistance that they are receiving (including Scholarships and Bursaries).
