Do you by any chance know where to access this information?

All info about scholarships should be here.

The website is really unclear with the requirements for the scholarships in upperyears. Maybe the undergrad calendar would have more info.

Thanks Jeremy!

I feel like there is so many listed, that I'm too lazy to go through it all. omg... and all of them, you can't apply until after first year.

A lot of them you don't even have to apply for. Some scholarships are awarded to you if you meet the criteria which is basically decided by a computer just scanning all the students without you having to specifically apply for it.

Really? Sweet. That's kind of nice. You wake up one morning and you receive X amount of dollars in scholarship. yay.

Truee.. But I guess it makes up for the lack of entrance scholarship after 2nd year, especially since there are so many of them

So I noticed in here that the entrance awards seem to be available for some of you. However this is not my case yet :p Should I wait a week/more before contacting Financial Services to see what's up?

If you are in first year it'll become available later. Mine came out on the 23rd last year, so if you don't see one by August then you should start contacting the Financial Aid department.

The reason is because our marks were finalized in April/May while first years have their marks finalized in June/July and then it takes time for OUAC to receive the marks, which means it takes more time for McMaster to receive the marks, which in turn means it takes longer for you to receive the scholarship since processing has to take place.
