Thank you Ridgemont for the great resource to help students find Scholarships!
Many universities offer their own scholarships; many are marks-based (the higher your grades the more money you can get). Some require applications and some are processed upon application to the school (entrance scholarships). Nipissing University and Lakehead University offer free tuition to all domestic applicants who have over 95% average!!
Here are some unique scholarships worth highlighting that are currently available.
