## About applying for awards
### You must apply for awards
You are not automatically submitted. It is important to read the eligibility requirements and follow the application instructions for each award you are considering.
[Learn more about eligibility](https://grad.ucalgary.ca/awards/award-guide/step-1-applying/eligibility)
### You do not need to be accepted into your program
You are encouraged to apply for awards when you have submitted your admissions application and received your University of Calgary student number (UCID). You are not required to meet the eligibility requirements in the terms of reference of an award when you apply, but if successful, you must meet the eligibility requirements at the time the award is paid.
### Some awards are restricted by citizenship
International students are eligible for many awards. See the list of awards open to international students under Award Opportunities. You can also search the Awards Database and select International in the Citizenship category.
