Tips on Finding and Applying for Scholarships

Do you need a Scholarship?Tips provided by StudentScholarships.org

Tips on How to Find Scholarships

Finding resources to attend post-secondary studies isnt that difficult. However, it takes timeand effort to look for awards. There is no simple click that will point you to all the fundsavailable and there is no comprehensive book to tell you everything.

If you spend the time, you will be paid for the work you put into it. Even if you only spendone day looking for awards, you may end up with a $500 award. That is pretty good for oneday of work.

The most important thing to always remember is that if you dont apply, you wont receiveanything.

8 Places to Look

1. High School

Visit the Guidance Counselors office. They usually receive resources from many donorsand an experienced counselor can be invaluable to your search.

2. Institution of Study

Another good place to start is at the school where you intend to enroll. Every post-secondary institution has an Awards Program. Most have their awards listed on their website.

Many awards at the institutions do not get enough applicants simply because students haveleft it to the last minute. Most institutions make an effort to post their awards well ahead of the deadlines. Once you have enrolled in a particular institution, make sure you payattention to the emails the college awards office will send you.

3. Local Community

Often local awards will not be found on the internet. These awards are generally offeredthrough community clubs, charitable foundations, local employers, and communityorganizations.


11/103


11


4. Your Employer or your Parents Employer

Many companies offer programs for employees and employees dependents as part of their benefit package. Ask your parents. Students who work part-time should also check withtheir own employer.

5. Professional Organizations

Professional organizations want to promote their profession. Many national groups havelocal affiliates, so always check locally and nationally. See what they have to offer. For example: A.P.E.G.G.A, an engineering association, offers many scholarships for studentsinterested in Engineering.

6. Industry

Think about where you would seek employment upon completion of studies. Manyindustries offer awards to encourage development of a skilled workforce. You dont have towork for the company offering the scholarship, simply take advantage of the opportunity toapply.

7. Specific to Ethnic Origin or Citizens with Disabilities

Many companies and organizations offer awards to assist specific students. If you are of aboriginal ancestry there are many awards established to assist aboriginal students. Thereare also many awards offered through organizations that support citizens with disabilities.Check with your local support organization or their affiliated national websites.

8. Internet

There are several different ways in which you should use the internet in searching for awards.

Google Search

Remember that when you are using a search engine, such as Google, you need to be asspecific as possible. For example, if you are looking for scholarships for engineering, youshould be searching for Engineering Scholarships or Scholarships for Engineering.


12/103


12


Tips on How to Find Scholarships

The more specific your search, the more likely you are to find scholarships quickly. Another great example would be to include the country or province you are from in the search. For example, if you are looking for scholarships for engineering, you should be searching for Canadian Engineering Scholarships or Scholarships for Canadian Engineering Students.

2. Scholarship Databases

There are several websites devoted to collecting and sorting through scholarships on theinternet. Our preference is obviously Studentscholarships.org, but there are several other search engines that will help during your search. Some of the sites include:

A) www.studentscholarships.orgB) www.ammsa.comC) www.nursingscholarships.caD) www.nupge.ca/scholarshipsE) www.engineeringscholarships.caF) www.listofscholarships.ca

After you Find some Awards

If you are unsure about some of the qualifications of the award you have found, write or email the possible donor(s). Do not call. Make your letter short and to the point; just identifyyourself and request information and an application. If you are writing, enclose a stamped,self-addressed envelope for a quick response.

Before contacting the donor, ensure that the information can not be found online. In mostinstances, answers to your questions can be found online.

Pay Attention to the Deadlines

Dont apply for awards at the last minute or when you are bogged down with term papersand homework. You wont feel like putting in the effort and your applications will likely reflectthat.


13/103


13


Getting a Head Start on the Application Process

As early as possible, prepare a portfolio to include:

1. Typed statement of extra-curricular and community involvement.2. Typed statement of your education and career goals3. Academic record: transcripts, statement of grades, test scores4. Personal Accomplishments: certificates of recognition, participation awards5. Letters of reference that speak to community involvement6. Letters of reference that discuss your extra-curricular activities.

Academics arent everything

There are many awards that are given based on community involvement, satisfactoryacademic standing, ethnic origins, specific interests, financial need, etc.

Most Importantly

Our advice is to apply, apply and then apply some more! If you do not receive an awardright away, don't be discouraged. Intensify your search. Keep a record of all awards andbursaries you apply for and reapply each year.
