HOW DO I FIND SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES???

1. ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIPS (Post Secondary Institutions)

a) most post secondary institutions provide a space on their application forms

b) some require a separate application form so inquire through the admissions office, by phone or on-line, for that particular institution.

c) these scholarships are based on the entrance requirements for the program

NOTE: Students should fill out as much as possible on the application, even if repeating themselves…resumes, if relevant, may be attached

2. WEB SITES

Register with your specific information ON-LINE with such sites as listed below. They will keep you updated once you are registered.

3. FAMILY CONTACTS

Your employer, your parents' employers, service clubs that you below to (or your parents), insurance companies, etc.; in short, any group your family may be contacted too, including grandparents
