Scholarships:

Scholarships…let your computer do the walking!

There is a lot of money out there to help you pay for your learning after high school. You just have to be willing to put in the work to find them and to apply! Scholarships are given out by the province, the federal government, and by the institution or training centre you are applying to. Some scholarships you can apply for on your own, others you need your school to apply on your behalf. And not all scholarships are about marks. Service to the community and financial need are also considered. 

Check with your local Royal Canadian Legion for local and provincial bursaries, ask your parents about workplace scholarships. Belong to an organization like 4H, Rotary, or Leo’s? Ask your leaders about opportunities! 

 Here are some, and certainly not all, of the sites you can look at for scholarships, awards, and bursaries.

 Tips on Filling Out a Successful Scholarship Application

• APPLY! Even if you kind of sort of think you might slightly quality, APPLY for it. There are millions of dollars out there for scholarships and many go unawarded because students don’t apply. Yes, it’s work, but think of the reward; the effort is worth every penny.
• Get the application form in plenty of time to complete it. Some forms are 5-7 pages long, requiring an essay and/or references.

• Complete and send the application on time. Most will not consider late applications. Factor in mailing time if you cannot send electronically. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DEADLINES!

• Think about lining up a few reference letters that are generic. Having these on hand will save you from scrambling. Ask your potential references well in advance. References letters take time to write so be considerate when asking.
• Read the instructions carefully. If it says to type it, type it. If it says a 250 word essay, do not hand in 5 pages. You will only disqualify yourself.
• If you can, research the company or group giving out the scholarship. They are doing this for giving back, but also to promote themselves. You may need to submit a recent picture for their newsletter.
• Keep a list, for yourself, of all the scholarships you are applying for, when the deadlines are, the amounts awarded, and when a successful applicant will be chosen.
• Pay attention to the fine print. Many scholarships pay the institution directly and possibly not until you have successfully completed a semester or full year of school. Check to see if you need to maintain a certain GPA (grade point average). Do you have to provide proof that you are registered in classes and attending? Does the money come to you and is that money mailed or direct deposit?
•  If you are awarded a scholarship, ALWAYS send a thank you note.
• Tell your school counsellor of scholarships you’ve been awarded so you can be an inspiration! We like to celebrate and acknowledge those students who receive scholarships and awards.

• You may need to have the following documents ready for part of your application: 
  • Social Insurance Number. 
  • Proof of Alberta Residency
  • Permanent resident card
