We encourage students who are pursuing post-secondary education to apply for scholarships to help reduce the costs of their post-secondary education. There are countless scholarships available to our students and we want to help students find these scholarships and support them in applying for them. One way to find scholarships is to sign up to www.scholarshipscanada.com and receive free information and alerts about scholarships across Canada that students qualify for. To keep organized and never miss a deadline, download our Scholarship Tracking Sheet. Make an appointment with Mrs. Kotowich-Dubrule, our Career Counsellor to discuss all of the funding options available to you.
