Student Financial Profile (SFP)

The Student Financial Profile is a multi-purpose online application form that is used to apply for university supports including scholarships, awards, bursaries and on-campus employment programs such as Work/Study, the Leadership, Engagement and Ambassadorship Program (LEAP) and Research at York (RAY). You should complete the SFP at the start of each academic session (once for fall/winter and once for summer) to be considered for a variety of programs.

The application periods for the Fall/Winter programs are as follows:

  • Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards Program: August 1, 2023 - September 15, 2023
  • Undergraduate Bursary Program: August 1, 2023 - March 15, 2024
