Language Proficiency Index (L.P.I.) If you are planning to attend UBC, UVIC, SFU, UFV or any other BC post-secondary institution requiring an English pre-test, you will have to write a diagnostic English exam called the Language Proficiency Index. The results of this test are used to determine the English courses you will be permitted to register in. For example you will not be allowed to take any first year UBC English courses until you score at a level of 5 on this exam. Students attending the following institutes with the stated percent in either English 12 or English Literature 12 are exempt from writing the LPI: * UBC 80% (min. Term 2 Grade) * UFV 72% (min. Final Grade) * SFU 75% (min. Final Grade) Sittings for this exam occur at various places. YOU must register online at: www.lpitest.ca

The ‘How To’s’ of Scholarship Applications 1. Make a database of all available scholarships:

Identify the universities you are considering.

Use scholarship and university websites to make a list of scholarships.

Ask parents to check at their place of employment.

On your list, note the deadlines.

Larger scholarships require evidence of

commitment and community involvement, school service, volunteer work, music and/or athletics

and leadership.

DW Poppy Scholarship Handbook Page 4

2. Identify ‘Guaranteed’ Automatic Scholarships:

Based solely on your high school marks and admissions.

Usually you do not need to complete an application.

Note the GPA required. 3. Meet Application Deadlines:

Ensure that you meet the deadline.

Ensure you have included all supporting documents requested.

Give referees plenty of time to prepare references.

Even guaranteed scholarships are dependant on you having applied to the university by a certain date.

4. Neatness Matters:

Your completed application makes a statement about you.

Spelling and grammar matter.

Schedule your time to complete the application as though it were a major assignment.

Ask teachers and parents to proofread. 5. Avoid Emailing or Faxing Your Application:

Unless the university specifically states to email or fax.

Your application should be posted by priority mail; this is also proof of the date that it was sent.

6. Focus on Quality Rather Than Quantity:

General essays should focus on a few activities rather than trying to address everything.

It is easier to focus on two or three activities and describe your involvement and how you were affected.

Discuss what you learned from your involvement.

Provide examples to illustrate anything you are writing about. It makes your content more believable.

Above all BE POSITIVE. 7. Help Your References:

Principals, counsellors and teachers are busy!

Provide a one-page ‘Student Profile’.

A cover page to the ‘Student Profile’ should identify: * Program applying for. * Scholarship applying for. * Deadline of application. 8. Help Yourself:

Start early!

Keep an ongoing file of activities, accomplishments, awards, etc.

If you need clarification about an application, call or email.

9. Keep a Hardcopy:

Applications can get lost.

Save work often.

Computer failure will not excuse you from missing a deadline.

10. Know How to Find What You Need:

Read criteria carefully and ask yourself ‘What are they looking for?’

Some university websites provide details or profiles of former recipients of major scholarships.

Do not hesitate to contact the university awards office and ask them what they are looking for in a successful candidate.

Give them what they want!

Follow the directions given on the application carefully. You will disqualify yourself if you do not!

11. Remember the Basics:

Fit your answer to the scholarship criteria; use active verbs.

Provide details of what you actually did.

Always check your spelling and punctuation (find an English teacher to edit).

Use black ink unless they ask for blue.

Do not use liquid paper. When a letter about you is required for an application, include:

A brief outline of your interests, hobbies and

activities.

A brief summary of positions and offices held by you in school and/or community organizations.

A short statement of your purposes in seeking a post-

Comments from SFU: Go beyond the usual comments. Instead focus on the ways in which the event or essay topic has shaped your life, your beliefs, the values by which you live. Think about HOW the topic or event has had an impact on your attitude toward life, on your philosophy; think about the ways in which the future benefits are not only to you but the society that in part will be contributing to your university education. Your essay must stand out from others! Make it interesting, reflective of YOU! Make sure that your essay is correct – grammatical, sen-tence, and spelling errors are absolutely forbidden. Do have your essay edited by someone who knows how to write well!
