Students and Parents
This booklet contains information on scholarships, bursaries and awards available to our
graduates. You will find a brief description, links to the website for further information,
deadlines and applications.
It is impossible to keep this booklet current as deadlines change each year and not all
deadlines are known very far in advance. Remember: dates are based on last year’s
deadlines, unless the current year is listed.
Students are encouraged to check the announcements on our school website, visit the
scholarship board at Student Services, and talk with our Guidance Counselors for the most upto-date information.
Many recruiters from universities and colleges visit our school. Their visits will be posted on the
school website and in Student Services (where sign-up sheets will be available). Some
universities and colleges will hold an open-house and these dates will also be posted on the
school website.
Many scholarships and bursaries will require a copy of your transcript, letters of
reference/recommendation and/or an essay. Allow yourself time to get the necessary
information.
Important information to remember:



Students with an average of 80% or higher in grade 11 and who have maintained that
through first semester of grade 12 will often be considered for scholarships to the
university or college where they apply. This process starts in February/March, of their
graduating year, depending on the institution. Some universities/colleges have separate
applications for some entrance scholarships.
Students should make appointments with our guidance counsellors to get assistance
with planning and applying to universities and colleges.
Students receiving scholarships and awards, must bring the letter from the institution to
the guidance counselors to confirm acceptance; otherwise they will not be announced
at the graduation ceremony.
It is impossible to find every scholarship or bursary that is available. If you find scholarships not listed
in this booklet, forward them to Donna White at dlwhite@edu.pe.ca and she will see that they are
added to the booklet.
