follow the money: scholarships and financial aid

17/5/2014

Everyone likes the idea of receiving scholarship money.  What's not to like?  But how many students are willing to put in the hours and effort required to apply for scholarships and financial aid? 

We promise not to sugar coat our advice.  The truth is, searching for scholarships and financial aid is not for the faint-hearted.   

The timing for most scholarship and financial aid applications begins in earnest after January 1.   Yes, that's just when you've finished your college applications and collapsed on the sofa.  There is money out there for students in grade 11, and even grades 10 and 9, but most students are motivated to search for financial support in grade 12, when the concept of going to university is on the verge of becoming a reality.   We get that.  Don't flog yourself about waiting to go for it, just go for it!

We are there to support you beyond the search.  We recommend useful sites, but we can also be there to encourage and guide you through the sometimes arduous process of completing applications once scholarship and aid matches have been found.  The good news is that you'll be a pro in essay writing by January of your grade 12 year!  And when it comes to filling out financial aid forms, we can help you figure out how best to fill in those blanks.

Visit our Resources and Links page for a list of our favorite, and most helpful, sites.  Is there a scholarship out there for you?
