Scholarships and Bursaries
There are a number of opportunities to access scholarships and bursaries through various organizations. We strongly encourage students to apply for any awards they are eligible for as many scholarships/bursaries go unclaimed each year due to lack of student response/applications.
For helpful tips on application success, please see our Tips for Success PDF document.
