Scholarship/Funding

A post-secondary education is a BIG investment.  We encourage students to apply for as many scholarships as possible to help reduce the costs of post-secondary. There are countless scholarships available to students and unfortunately, many go unclaimed because students don't apply.  A great way to find scholarships is to sign up to www.scholarshipscanada.com and receive free information about scholarships that students qualify for. To keep organized and never miss a deadline, use our Scholarship Tracking Sheet.  Need help applying for scholarships? Check out 7 Tips to Help You Find & Win Scholarships or talk to your school's Career Counsellor.
