It is important to be aware of all steps included in submitting your application. Avoid submitting an incomplete application and get things organized before the deadline closes.
On the program page - click the Complete Online Application Form Button.
This will direct you to the application form for that specific program to complete.
Tip: Enter the email on the application form that you check regularly as Banff Centre will primarily communicate via email.
Once the Application Form is submitted, you will be sent a link to the Applicant Portal.
Tip: If you don't see the email check all folders in your email account (Junk, promotions, etc.)
Log-in to the portal and pay your non-refundable application fee. Payment in the Portal is a 2 step process.
Not all programs require an application fee so please check the financial information tab in the Portal for details.
If you are requesting financial aid, this is when you submit your request. You will find financial aid forms in different places depending if the program is Arts or Leadership.
Leadership Financial Aid Form: Leadership Programming form is in the Student Portal.
If you requested YES to financial aid on your Leadership Application form you will find this in your Portal in the 'My Documents' Tab.
My Documents > Document Centre
Arts Programming Financial Aid: For Arts programming, the Financial Aid question is included at Step 3, How to Apply, in SlideRoom .
For all programs that are adjudicated, you will be required to submit a portfolio of work and a set of additional materials to assist the adjudication team in making their decision on whom to select for acceptance, waitlist, or not accept.
Some other programs may also ask for additional materials to assist in the setting up of cohorts or to tailor content.
Examples of supporting materials you may be asked to provide depending on the program include:
Ensure that you complete all steps before the end of the deadline or as soon as possible for first come, first served programs.
First come First Served Programs often fill up well before the deadline. To avoid disappointment we strongly recommend that you complete all the required steps as soon as you can. Once full, we do accept applications for the waitlist but there is no guarantee that a spot will become available.
