Scholarships & Bursaries
Here we will share information about local and national scholarships that you might be eligible to apply for.
National Scholarships
There are no current National Scholarships
Major Scholarships
For now, the scholarships that are most relevant are considered to be Major awards—usually national awards that are tough to get. Most of you will be automatically considered for Entrance awards to the universities you apply to, without a separate application.
Between those are other scholarships that need to be found by looking at resources such as the following sites: scholarshipscanada.com and yconic.com. On these sites, you need to set up a profile and search through matched awards.
If you think you would be a suitable candidate, be sure to investigate the Major Entrance Scholarship process for the schools to which you are applying. Each will have a different process for scholarships, so better to do your research now to ensure you know what exactly to do and when to submit!
There are some major scholarship programs that require work to be done and application submitted early this fall. Here is a list of scholarship opportunities, and information about the work you need to do to apply.
