DEFINITION OF TERMS
A SCHOLARSHIP is a cash award given to a student primarily on the
basis of academic standing.
A BURSARY is an award given to a student who has attained a certain
level of achievement and is in need of financial assistance to continue his/her
education.
A PRIZE is a small award given in recognition of some specific
superior accomplishment. Prizes may be in the form of such things as books,
plaques, subscriptions or cash.
LOANS/GRANTS
A loan is advanced on the understanding that the money will be repaid
upon the completion of one’s studies. The Federal and Provincial Governments
both provide student loan plans. A grant is financial assistance from
public funds in support of a specific project usually awarded at a graduate
level.
The Student Finance Board administrates both Province of Alberta and Canada
Students Loans. Both loans are applied for on one application. Forms are
available in early May in the counsellor’s office.
Start your research early. This book is not a complete list of
scholarships.
Awards/scholarship criteria, value and deadlines change frequently. This
package, at the time of printing, contains accurate information to the best of
our knowledge.
Please inform the Counselling Department if there is any change to the status
of information contained in this book.
It is the student’s responsibility to process any scholarships for which
they may qualify. Some applications require extensive preparations. We recommend
application process to begin one month before deadline. Follow these steps:
1. Review this booklet and highlight the scholarships for which you
qualify.
All students should check with their parents’ employers, clubs,
associations and community leagues for additional information and
scholarship opportunities.
All post-secondary institutions offer undergrad entrance scholarships.
Inquire through awards offices at the particular institution.
Extensive scholarship and career search information can be accessed
through the Internet (see pages 33, 34).
Students must insure a transcript of their final marks is sent to each
institution to which you are applying. Applications for transcripts are
available through the Counselling Department, Student Services, or Alberta
Learning on line (www.learning.gov.ab.ca). (Need Alberta Education I.D.
number, credit card, plus make a declaration). Request your transcript mid June
(use a time code of "2").
For additional information and resources check with Ms. Spenrath and Ms.
Kopala.
