Scholarship opportunities.....

There are scholarships available to fit almost every student....

"But only students who have consistently high averages get scholarships...."

This is not true. Marks count...for some scholarships. There are many more opportunities than one would first think. Here are other ways to think of a scholarship you may qualify for:

Community Service
Interest and participation in Environmental Issues
Human Rights

Some employers (think Burger King and McDonalds) has a scholarship program

Churches often have bursary programs
Some of the larger employers of parents have scholarship and bursary opportunities

Check out the big sites like ScholarshipsCanada.com have fantastic opportunities.

Here are a few local opportunities you may not have heard of...

The Community Foundation of Nova Scotia has listings for unique grants and other funding opportunities for students... Here is their link...

Various universities, local away have scholarships and bursaries available but are left untouched ($500.00+) only because students don't check in to them or because they think they won't qualify - Here is an example of one offered by Saint Mary's University...

Jim Pineo Scholarship: Awarded annually to a full-time student living at a permanent address in Nova Scotia, wishing to study at Saint Mary's University. Diagnosed with a disability and verified through the Atlantic Centre for Students with Disabilities and based on financial need. If there is no eligible student the award may be given to a continuing student.
