National Student Loan

You should try and find all the scholarships, bursaries and grants that you meet the requirements and apply. Understand that you don’t have to repay scholarships and grants. They are not loans. They are given to stimulate excellence and performance.

Governments offer them, of course, but did you know that some companies, organizations and even private citizens do sometimes and under certain circumstances offer generous scholarships, grants and bursaries ?

There are many
There are almost as many grants and bursaries as there are education programs and types of student. To name a few:

• Apprentice Incentive Grant
• Canada Study Grants
• Provincial and territorial grants

And many more. Simply Google for “Canada grants and bursaries” and you will find wealth of information on each specific one and all the necessary paper work to submit them.

Studying Abroad
We now live in a global interconnected world. Studying abroad comes with many advantages. If the foreign school you are interested in qualifies as a “Designated Educational Institution” then you may be eligible to a special kind and very attractive incentive scholarship. Check this with the Student Assistance Office of your province or territory.

With a little research and work, you just might find yourself several hundreds and even thousands of dollar richer to start your education. Do your homework and find those grants you are eligible to apply for.
