Tips on How to Find Scholarships
Finding resources to attend post-secondary studies isn’t that difficult. However, it takes time and effort to look for awards. There is no simple click that will point you to all the funds available 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 spend one day looking for awards, you may end up with a $500 award. That is pretty good for one day of work.
The most important thing to always remember is that if you don’t apply, you won’t receive anything.
8 Places to Look
1. High School
Visit the Guidance Counselor’s office. They usually receive resources from many donors and 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 have left 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 pay attention 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 offered through community clubs, charitable foundations, local employers, and community organizations.
10 Information provided by StudentScholarships.org ______
Do you need a Scholarship? Tips provided by StudentScholarships.org
4. Your Employer or your Parent’s 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 with their own employer.
5. Professional Organizations
Professional organizations want to promote their profession. Many national groups have local 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 students interested in Engineering.
6. Industry
Think about where you would seek employment upon completion of studies. Many industries offer awards to encourage development of a skilled workforce. You don’t have to work for the company offering the scholarship, simply take advantage of the opportunity to apply.
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. There are 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 as specific as possible. For example, if you are looking for scholarships for engineering, you should be searching for “Engineering Scholarships” or “Scholarships for Engineering”.
11 Information provided by StudentScholarships.org ______
Do you need a Scholarship? Tips provided by StudentScholarships.org
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 the internet. 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.org B) www.ammsa.com C) www.nursingscholarships.ca D) www.nupge.ca/scholarships E) www.engineeringscholarships.ca F) 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 identify yourself 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 most instances, answers to your questions can be found online.
Pay Attention to the Deadlines
Don’t apply for awards at the last minute or when you are bogged down with term papers and homework. You won’t feel like putting in the effort and your applications will likely reflect that.
12 Information provided by StudentScholarships.org ______
Do you need a Scholarship? Tips provided by StudentScholarships.org
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 goals 3. Academic record: transcripts, statement of grades, test scores 4. Personal Accomplishments: certificates of recognition, participation awards 5. Letters of reference that speak to community involvement 6. Letters of reference that discuss your extra-curricular activities.
Academics aren’t everything
There are many awards that are given based on community involvement, satisfactory academic 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 award right away, don't be discouraged. Intensify your search. Keep a record of all awards and bursaries you apply for and reapply each year.
