Scholarships you could apply to

If you are new to SFU which if this were real, I would be able to apply
for Entrance Scholarships, Entrance Awards, and Entrance Bursaries
Why you think you might like the program, etc.

I have chosen the health sciences courses to review as I would like a career
in a health field and enjoy working with children. I have chosen this program
after fully reviewing all other health science courses. As the SFU program is
the most economical and this program sets up students for more than one
career, and provides a good introduction into a variety of health fields. The
SFU program would also mean I would be able to still live at home which
would reduce the overall university costs.
