Would you like to have more money for university?  

 

Every year tens of thousands of dollars goes unused because eligible students don't apply!  You don't have to be a top student to get a scholarship!

 

This 3 hour workshop will answer your questions about how to find and apply for various kinds of scholarships. We’ll go over the parts of the scholarship application and discuss ways to improve your chances of winning.   Participants will write a draft of their list of activities and a draft essay, and get tips on how to make it the best it can be. We’ll also discuss references and how to get great ones.

 

What you’ll leave with:  Students will come away with a draft of their activities list and a draft scholarship essay to use in their applications.  They will also take away several helpful resources.

 

This workshop is best suited to students in Grades 11 and 12.

"Janet met with me to discuss the career I'm interested in, and even went as far as researching which courses I would need as prerequisites for the Master's degree I'm thinking about taking.  It felt amazing to talk about such a stressful topic with someone who knows so much about universities!"   - Jessica, Grade 12 student
