Thinking about going to the U.S. for post secondary? There are tons of grants, scholarships, and bursaries offered to students who look at expanding their horizons and growing their life experiences. The Government of Canada offers grants for students in Canada who go school in the U.S., there are restrictions that apply so ensure you do your research and see which Grants you can apply for.
There are a number of corporations that offer scholarships for the employees' family members, be sure to check the benefits guide for your family's employer to see if you qualify. There are Scholarships you can apply for from national companies who want to 'Give Back' to the community, ensure you do your research to see which ones apply to you.
You can also work with your High School. High Schools offer of number of bursaries for students who look at going to College for Art and Design, Merit, or Athletics. Be sure to work with your guidance department to see if you can apply to them. BONUS! A number of the U.S. Colleges and State Governments will offer Scholarships for International Students who come to study in the U.S. from Canada. You know that $50,000/year tuition? It could end only costing $7,000 by the time you get every Grant, Scholarship, and Bursary out there. Be sure you look everywhere you can, there are hidden funds under every rock; you just need to know where to look.
The Top 5 Websites to Find International Scholarships
Scholars4dev is a handy and easy to use website for international students to find scholarships. There are plenty of search options and categories that tell you exactly how many scholarships are available to you. You also need to check out their scholarship lists because they offer in-depth looks into scholarships specific to country, area of study and amount. If you want an easy laid out list of scholarships that you can quickly apply to, Scholars4dev should be your first stop.
My favourite part about americanscholarships.com is that it requires you to make a profile with all of the data necessary to find you your best scholarship matches. This saves tons of time in the future. First, you're only shown scholarships that you can apply to, no time is wasted checking each and every scholarship for requirements. Also, since it's a profile you never have to enter in all of that information again because filling out those forms takes a couple minutes away from time you could be finding scholarships.
3. Studyabroad
Not only is this website a scholarship portal it is also an excellent source of information if you're looking to study abroad. Studyabroad.com compiles the best scholarships from other websites and displays them in an easy to understand format. I encourage students to use this resource to collect information and develop questions that they have about scholarships and studying abroad to bring to the US College Expo to ask the professionals.
4. Yconic
Anyone who has ever looked for a scholarship knows what Yconic is, and it's for good reason. Yconic has one of the largest databases of scholarships and also acts as a social network for students. If you have any worries you can find a thread of other students going through the same thing and offering their advice. Plus, Yconic sends you email newsletters to update you on what scholarships are now available and which ones have deadlines coming up. There is also a feature that allows you to shortlist the ones you want to apply to. This makes organizing your scholarships a simple task.
Of course, you can always count on the Canadian government to have your back. Their website offers plenty of scholarships as well as their guidelines in a way that is easy to overview. However, it doesn't offer the ease of use that the other websites do. If you're willing to do a bit of searching through their website you'll be able to find many scholarships that are only available to Canadian students..
