One of the easiest is the Rutherford Scholarship
Scholarship
• based on academic achievement
• non-repayable money based on merit
• the higher the value of the scholarship
the more involved the application is
Bursary
• non repayable money based on financial need and achievement
Awards
• cash or trophy usually funded by private foundations
Most applications ask for the following information:
1) Academics: good marks = money
Need a credit history or official transcripts
2) Leadership Activities – community service
volunteer work, team leader, school leader
camp counselor (you don’t get paid)
3) Athletic – most Canadian schools don’t offer purely athletic scholarships
4) They are looking for well rounded students
