Entrance Scholarship not showing on PA?
So i took a look at my payment agreement and there is still no option to click the "McMaster Scholarship" box under funding options.
Also, in mugsi, under scholarships and awards, it shows that there is no scholarship/awards information found. The problem is that i clearly am eligible for the 90-95% entrance award.
Any ideas? Or should I just call the finance dept tomorrow?

Go Here: McMaster University Portal
Log-in and check if your SIN is in there. You need to provide your SIN in order to receive scholarships, bursaries, OSAP, etc...

Yeah, check if you're registered, and enter your SIN number asap! And just to be sure, call the financial aid office tomorrow, just to make sure everything is straightened out, especially 'cause the first payment is due in about a week!

It should take a few days to be updated, so it wouldn't hurt to call them tomorrow to speed up the process a bit.

Yep, exactly :( And you're already paying thousands of dollars, it's nice to get the scholarship, and you definitely don't need that extra $35 late fee >.<
