New scholarships and bursaries are continually being created. One of the easiest places to search is by creating a profile through Scholarships Canada. Once you have created a profile they will sort and send you applicable scholarships as the deadline approaches.
Criteria for Consideration
Not all scholarships, bursaries, and awards are granted based entirely on academic achievement. Many are awarded for various other criteria such as interests, family connections (military, cultural, employees, etc), entrepreneurship, humanitarianism, leadership, and many other reasons.
This list is extensive but not comprehensive. Students and parents should continue to search for other scholarships.
Entrance Awards
Check with your post-secondary institution or workplace for available awards. Many post-secondary institutions have an automatic award application for students who meet the deadline, while other awards are by application. Be sure to check out those institution websites.
School and Local Community
Communities and schools will often have a list of potential awards for graduating students. Check with your school as these are specific to each school and community and posted to the graduating class.
Public Scholarships
Students can access more scholarships from these websites. Students can create profiles and will then be matched to applicable scholarships.
