Scholarships

Introduction

It is important to start your scholarship search early to ensure that you will have the opportunity to take advantage of as many scholarship opportunities as possible.  The majority of scholarships are for graduating grade 12 students.  However, that should not discourage grade 9 – 11 students from researching and investigating the ones available and to identify scholarships that they want to take advantage of in future years.

It is important as grade 10 and 11 students to be aware of the scholarships that are awarded to students for just applying to a school.  It is based on averages and in reality you don’t need a 95% in all of your classes to be awarded them.

Please read the guide below to gain some knowledge that will help you on your scholarship process.
