SCHOLARSHIPS, GRANTS, AND BURSARIES FOR CANADIAN STUDENTS
Scholarships, grants or loans, and bursaries are types of financial assistance that you do not have to repay. Scholarships are typically predicated on merit, while grants or loans and bursaries usually take financial need into consideration as well. Some scholarships, grants or loans and bursaries are also based on academic achievement, athletic skill, extra-curricular participation, or special capabilities.
The federal, provincial and territorial governments, individual schools, and some businesses and charitable foundations also hand out scholarships, grants or loans and bursaries. Check with your school to learn what you will be eligible for.
