Researching scholarships takes time! It requires reading requirements, checking websites, writing essays and often having references.  Here are a few tips that may help!

• Start early - check out what will be required of you, when deadlines are and what the process is for specific scholarships. 

• Organize your work in a folder or binder!

• Keep track of who you are and your accomplishments. You could keep a resume that identifies your strengths that may transfer into a scholarship.  Consider marks, skills, achievements, cultural background, area of study and parental and community affiliations.  

• Check the websites of the post-secondary institutions you are interested in and look specifically for entrance scholarships (these are for students coming directly from high school).  Some schools offer renewable scholarships.  This could be the difference in deciding which school to attend.
