  • Awards Booklet 2017
    fund your future AWARDS, BURSARIES & 2017 SCHOLARSHIPS A listing of information sources to help in the planning and funding of your post secondary education. Finances are important considerations as you embark on your educational journey. However, before finances enter the radar, you might want to explore just what post-secondary education means. Post-secondary education is simply education after high school. Let's explain: Another word for high school is secondary school; the word 'post' simply means 'after.' And, so if you're finishing high -- that is, secondary -- school, post-secondary education is simply the next step on your educational journey. Look how far you've come already! Choosing to take the next step on your educa- tional journey can reap tremendous benefits. In Alberta, the average salary of a university graduate is around $60,000, while a community college graduate earns an average of about $50,000 year. Compare the salaries of these post-secondary graduates to the annual earnings of Albertans with a high school diploma: less than $40,000. Imagine the difference over a lifetime. And, that's just from an economic per- spective. Take a long-term view: 10, 20, or 30 years from now. Imagine yourself with post-secondary edu- cation. And, on the flipside, without post-secondary education. Ultimately, post-secondary education opens the doors to a better quality of life. You might say that high school + post-secondary school = more opportunities. There are whole host of opportunities for post- secondary education. In Alberta, post-secondary insti- tutions, such as universities, community colleges, and technical institutes, offer accredited programs and courses.
