HOW DO YOU PHRASE IT

[Guest mcatsucks]

When you get an award such as ontario scholarship for duration....what do you write.. I said "discrete" award but I dont like that.

 

Any suggestions Thanks

what does discrete award mean

[Guest mcatsucks]

One time only award as opposed to continuous award...

I would be inclined to use the academic year as the time period. You usually get awards just once, but they are to last for the year (if it is money or something like that anyway). That's what I did. Mine weren't scholarships, but I got some community service awards (from my university) and stuff like that, and I just put the academic year in which they were presented for.

Hi there,

 

I agree with the above. If the award was a one-time endowment, scholarship or accolade awarded to you at one point in time then simply describe the award as best you can and submit the date on which you received it.

 

Cheers,
