We want to advertise an award on the Okanagan college website. How do we do that?
We do not advertise external awards on our webpage unless we are a part of the adjudication process. For more options, check out yconic.com - that is where we direct students to find external awards.
The Financial Aid and Awards department does not handle the selection or payment of external awards.
If you win an external award, the organization will contact you with the next steps. Usually, they will either send the payment directly to you or work with our finance team to add it to your Okanagan college student account.
