You will find a brief description, links to the website for further information, deadlines and applications. It is impossible to keep this booklet current as deadlines change each year and not all deadlines are known very far in advance. Remember: dates are based on last year’s deadlines, unless the current year is listed. Students are encouraged to check the announcements on our school website, visit the scholarship board at Student Services, and talk with our Guidance Counselors 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 and these dates will also be posted on the school website. Many scholarships and bursaries will require a copy of your transcript, letters of reference/recommendation and/or an essay. Allow yourself time to get the necessary information. 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. Students should make appointments with our guidance 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 guidance counselors 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 Jennifer Victor at javictor@edu.pe.ca and she will see that they are added to the booklet.
