How Can I Qualify for a Scholarship or an Award?

Many scholarships and awards are based on nonacademic achievements or qualifications. Some scholarships focus on financial need, women, Aboriginals and athletes. Ask your employer, your parents’ employer, community association or your church if they have a scholarship program.

Enhance your chances of being awarded a scholarship by ensuring your application is complete and your references / essays are appropriate.
