Post-secondary education can be more affordable than most students think. There are numerous scholarships, bursaries, tuition waivers, and other sponsorship options available. However, students lose many funding opportunities because they simply do not apply! The only way to become a successful applicant to available funding is to do your homework. Seek out available funding opportunities and apply to as many of them as possible. Also pay attention to the stated deadline dates, review what information and documentation you need, and apply early.
These three terms all mean “free money”:
A Bursary is usually given to a recipient based on demonstrated financial need and satisfactory academic progress.
A Scholarship is given to a recipient primarily based on merit. This may include academic achievement, volunteering, or an essay.
An Award usually involves multiple criteria such as academic achievement, demonstrated financial need, and community involvement.
Sponsorship: comes from an organization, such as a First Nation band, the Manitoba Metis Federation, or the Manitoba Government. Sponsorship may cover tuition, books and a living allowance, and does not have to be paid back. Some terms and conditions may apply such as maintaining certain grades and communicating course registration changes. It may vary according to student need, financial ability of the organization, and other criteria.
Student Loans: can come from the government or a financial institution, however the loan money has to be paid back. Government Loans, available through Manitoba Student Aid don’t accumulate interest until you stop being a full-time student. They have to be paid back six months after your studies and generally have a much lower interest rate. Bank loans have to be paid back regularly and have higher interest rates.
Internal Awards: are scholarships and bursaries that are only available to students at a particular postsecondary institution. To learn more, visit your University's or Colleges website and search financial aid and awards. Internal Awards are also the awards that you can apply for through our school in March.. listen for announcements as to when this application will be available.
External Awards: are awards that are available outside your post-secondary institution. These awards are specific to students, not to schools, although in some cases they will only be for students at certain schools. Look for external awards information on the Scholarship Board, Student announcements, and through this website. External awards are also primarily found through setting up a profile with the scholarship search engines listed above. Information on available scholarships will be emailed to you directly.
Part-time/summer employment: Try and save at least 40% of each summer job paycheck towards school for the upcoming year. Open a bank account specifically for money for school, and make a personal commitment not to use that money for other things. Save as much money as you can throughout the year before entering post-secondary. Once school starts, there may also be opportunities to work on campus, such as; student unions, house-keeping, catering services, teaching assistants, etc.
