Scholarships, Awards, Bursaries, Student Aid

The counsellors at SPA hold information sessions during flex blocks to educate students on ways to fund their post-secondary education, including how to apply for scholarships, awards, bursaries, and student aid(loans). Scholarships are usually tied to grades while Awards often include other areas like leadership, volunteerism, and community service. Bursaries provide funding to students in financial need. Student aid provides information on student loans from the government.

We encourage all students to check out the links below. Each institution will also have scholarships and awards that students can apply for.
