Students and Parents This booklet contains information on scholarships, bursaries, and awards available to our graduates. You will find a brief description, links to the website for further information, deadlines, and applications. It is difficult to keep this booklet current as deadlines change each year and not all deadlines are known in advance. Dates are based on last year’s deadlines – when you see a scholarship you think applies, be sure to visit the website to find the current deadline. This booklet is also offered in a PDF format on the Student Services Website – all scholarship web addresses are listed at the back – by the month - of this online version

Students are encouraged to check the announcements on our school website, visit the scholarship board at Student Services, access the Student Services Blog on the school website and talk with our School Counsellors for the most up-to-date information. Many recruiters from universities and colleges visit our school. Their visits will be posted on the school website and in Student Services (where sign-up sheets will be available). Some universities and colleges will hold an open-house; these dates will also be posted on the school website. Most scholarships and bursaries require a copy of your transcript, letters of reference/recommendation and/or an essay. Please give counsellors time to get transcripts sent off, and please give teachers at least 2 weeks’ notice for reference letters.

Important information to remember:

Students with an average of 80% or higher in grade 11 and who have maintained that through first semester of grade 12 will often be considered for scholarships to the university or college where they apply. This process starts in February/March of their graduating year, depending on the institution. Some universities/colleges have separate applications for some entrance scholarships.

4

Students should make appointments with our school counsellors to get assistance with planning and applying to universities and colleges.

Students receiving scholarships and awards must bring the letter from the institution to the school counsellors to confirm acceptance; otherwise they will not be announced at the graduation ceremony.

It is impossible to find every scholarship or bursary that is available. If you find scholarships not listed in this booklet, forward them to Ms MacGregor Harris at armacgregor@edu.pe.ca and she will see that they are added to the online version of this booklet.
