Here\u2019s how to streamline the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"See_what_the_schools_provide\"><\/span>See what the schools provide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many Canadian colleges offer entrance scholarships. These are often awarded automatically based on academic achievement, though sometimes students need to apply for them. Your school\u2019s financial aid office will usually spell this out on its website; some colleges even allow you to apply for all their scholarships through a single online application. And some schools offer additional awards, thanks to donations from alumni, corporations and other organizations. These aren\u2019t just for newbies, either; many scholarships are earmarked for returning students.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Broaden_your_search\"><\/span>Broaden your search<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several scholarships offered by individuals, organizations and companies. Eligibility for these are based on a wide range of factors: some are focused on specific areas of study; others are for students who identify as members of a certain group (women, Indigenous people, LGBTQ+ students, people with disabilities). There are also scholarships based on other types of affiliations\u2014your part-time job might offer scholarships for employees. A union your parents belong to might have money allocated for their employees\u2019 kids. You could even be eligible for an award based on a grandparent\u2019s military service. Reach out to any groups you\u2019re connected with to find out whether they offer any post-secondary awards.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_study_is_more_important_than_where\"><\/span>What you study is more important than where<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a common misconception that college students aren\u2019t eligible for the same scholarships as university students. In Canada, scholarship eligibility doesn\u2019t usually depend on the type of institution you\u2019re attending; it\u2019s more often about the type of certification you\u2019re working toward. If you\u2019re a college student in a degree program, you can apply for awards designated for students pursuing degrees. Many scholarships\u2014including TD Bank\u2019s Scholarship for Community Leadership and the SGI Corporate Scholarship\u2014are open to students pursuing either type of certification, a diploma or a degree. There are even awards like the RBC Future Launch Scholarship, which are for short-term courses, certificate programs and workshops.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Say_yes_to_smaller_awards\"><\/span>Say yes to small(er) awards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The \u201cfull ride\u201d scholarships we hear about in pop culture aren\u2019t common in Canada. While there are some big-ticket awards here, these are often earmarked for degree programs at specific universities, and they\u2019re super competitive. Smaller scholarships tend to have smaller pools of applicants, making it easier to stand out. This can be especially true for college students, who <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly pay lower tuition than university students do.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_applying_part_of_your_routine\"><\/span>Make applying part of your routine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Working on your applications consistently over a longer period of time will yield better results than applying for a blitz of scholarships right before the deadline. With more time, you\u2019ll be able to track down a missing recommendation letter or transcript, and have someone proofread your application.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Say_the_right_things_in_your_application\"><\/span>Say the right things in your application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When writing your application, be sure to emphasize your leadership skills, volunteer work and dedication to community service. Don\u2019t get too hung up on numbers\u2014scholarship administrators are less interested in how many hours you volunteered and more interested in impact. Be sure to share what you learned, how it built your character and how it helped your community. Tell your story in a way that resonates with the objective, goals and mission statement of the organization.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_on_top_of_scholarship_news\"><\/span>Stay on top of scholarship news<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can get a jump on applications (and possibly your chance of winning scholarships) by being in the know about any changes or new opportunities.
