Scholarship research is a daunting and somewhat overwhelming task. Where do you begin? What awards do you qualify for? When do you apply? What is the difference between a scholarship and a bursary?
There is no simple click that will point you to all the funds available and there is no comprehensive book to tell you everything, however with some time and effort you will be able to find what you need.
Email Ms. Nussey (maegan.nussey@epsb.ca) for more information.
