  • Student Scholarships
    Student Scholarships Scholarships and Awards for Canadian Students Pursuing an education beyond high school is the aspiration of many students across Canada. However, the thought of financing that education often places a damper on the mood.

Students may be unable to secure funding or are too busy working multi- ple side jobs to manage their academic finances. Our goal at Canadian Student Relief is to ensure that education is accessible to every student who desires it. In this article, we bring you a plethora of scholarships that you can access through our website. With resources geared towards Indigenous students, students with disabilities, immigrant students and more.
