Scholarships

The following is a compilation of scholarships, bursaries and awards that may assist students to finance their post-secondary education. This list is extensive but it may not include many scholarships, particularly from various colleges, universities and private companies. Students should use this as a beginning point to search out scholarships. 

 

Some Guidelines: 

  1. Most scholarships are based on Grade 12 marks and are applied for in a student’s grade 12 year. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule, notably the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship (based on grades 10, 11, or 12) and many university scholarships. 
  2. Most scholarships are based on academic achievement that usually means an average over 80% and often require extracurricular or community involvement. Do check the requirements, you may qualify if you have other criteria.   
  3. When completing applications, print clearly or have them typed. Completed applications should be proofread before sending. 
  4. Complete all parts of the application. Follow all instructions including sending any requested documents. 
  5. Complete all applications by the deadline. Late applications are generally disqualified. 
  6. Scholarships are publicized in several ways: information posted on the high school bulletin board and through information on this webpage. 
  7. If you have questions about scholarships, awards or loans, see a counselor early in the school year. 

ALMOST ALL POST-SECONDARY SCHOOLS HAVE THEIR OWN WEBSITE SECTION DEDICATED TO AVAILABLE SCHOLARSHIPS. PLEASE INVEST THE TIME TO DISCOVER WHAT IS AVAILABLE AT YOUR SCHOOL OF CHOICE!
