COLONEL BY SECONDARY SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

All post-secondary institutions have scholarship programs for students commencing post-secondary studies as well as scholarships available to students continuing their post-secondary education. Details about these scholarships can be found on university and college websites and in each institution’s calendar. The calendars will also provide information on many scholarships offered by private firms and other foundations (i.e. the Ontario Professional Engineers and The Canadian Forces).

Entrance Scholarships do not require a separate application. Universities and colleges usually make their entrance scholarship offers on the basis of admission averages earned on the February and April report cards. These offers are conditional. This means that, should marks falter between the April and June report cards, the post-secondary institution has the right to rescind the scholarship offer.

Most universities and colleges also offer bursaries to both students entering their first year of study and those continuing their post-secondary education. These bursaries are usually based on financial need. Applications for bursaries are available from each institution’s Finance/Financial Aid Office in September.

There are a number of post-secondary scholarships requiring a special or separate application and information on these can be found on the e!INFO website. Usually these applications are received by Colonel By Secondary School and announced when they become available.

There are a few scholarships that require nomination by the applicant’s secondary school. These are usually prestigious, continuous scholarships and are often referred to as Chancellor’s, President’s or National Scholarships. Some universities and organizations will only accept one sponsored application per school. In these cases, applications much be submitted to the Colonel By Student Services Office in advance of the scholarship deadline in order to be considered for nomination by the Colonel By Scholarship Committee.

Please check this website carefully for both the Colonel By application deadline and the institution’s scholarship deadline. Details about these scholarships can be found on the e!INFO website listed below or on the websites specified in the scholarship site.

http://www.electronicinfo.ca/en/index.php?j=1&flash=1 It is recommended that students spend some time researching the scholarships offered by the post-secondary institutions to which they will be applying by using the resources in Student Services or by doing a web search. Information regarding scholarships can also be obtained at the following web sites:

Page 2: COLONEL BY SECONDARY SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION · COLONEL BY SECONDARY SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION ... • Present a minimum cumulative average of 85% (includes grades 9-11)

www.scholarshipscanada.com http://www.studentawards.com/ Both of these sites allow you to sign up and provide an email address in order to receive notifications of upcoming scholarships that might be of interest. www.dsbn.edu.on.ca/awards/alphalist.asp

There are also a number of scholarships that are not affiliated with a specific post-secondary institution that require a special application or a nomination. These scholarships can be found at the websites listed in this Scholarship Information Bulletin. Check the written announcements on a regular basis for updates on these specific scholarships. Note that scholarship deadlines refer to the date applications must be received by the granting institution (not the date the application is postmarked by).

Some scholarships require the student to supply information outlining honours, awards, contest results, participation in extracurricular and community activities, leadership and employment experience. Students are advised to prepare this information in advance of filling out scholarship applications. In addition, students may be asked to write ‘topic’ essays for some scholarships. These essays may require research in a specific area or they may require the development of an argument or an opinion. Complete such essays with care and diligence.

Finally, students may have to request letters of support from teachers, coaches or employers. Please approach these individuals well in advance of the application due date and clearly communicate:

• due date of scholarship

• type of information required • presentation of information • stamped, addressed envelope if person is required to send information

directly There are also additional sources of financial aid that can be found at www.osap.gov.on.ca The OSAP aid estimator tool (found under What is OSAP?) provides an estimate of the amount of OSAP for which a student might be eligible, which is very helpful for planning purposes.

Parents may also be very helpful in the ‘financial’ application process. Ask your parents to check out the Human Resources department at their workplace. Many places of work offer financial assistance to the children of their employees.

STUDENTS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION AND DOCUMENTATION AS REQUIRED AND ENSURE

THAT IT IS SUBMITTED ON TIME.
