Always use the previous years and update the information. If you have forgotten your login and /or password please email webapp@nserc-crsng.gc.ca Make sure you include your phone number where you can be reached as well as your email.
Transcripts (attachment): To attach transcripts to your forms, they must be scanned in Black & White and submitted as a one PDF. **Please wait until the fall marks have been put on your transcript before ordering** Also, please note that for the purposes of the internal deadline for applications and the adjudication process, Official transcripts are not required. An unofficial transcript can be submitted for this purpose. Only if you are awarded a USRA scholarship it is at that time you may order your official transcripts, if requested by USRA. This applies to both Trent transcripts and transcripts from other colleges or universities.
When submitting transcripts from other colleges or universities, please ensure that they include the legend page.
Once you have created your account and filled in the Form 202 part 1, forward your reference number (assigned to your application) to your proposed supervisor so they can complete Form 202 part 2.
