Scholarships

It is students' responsibility to search out scholarships and apply for them. Scholarships are posted on the Career Centre Calendar and the ones posted there are also emailed to students. Some scholarships are nominated requiring students to apply to be nominated.

The process is discussed in this document. The McRoberts Scholarship application is posted on the McRoberts website (Students>Grad 2025) before spring break - this is for school-based scholarships that are presented at valedictory. All students are encouraged to apply.

There are many places to apply for scholarships so the following offers more information.

Helpful Hints

Start researching scholarship options during grade 11 as the scholarship process begins early in your grade 12 year

Each award has unique criteria. You may have to complete an essay and/or provide school transcripts and references
Consider a variety of smaller scholarships/awards as they may attract fewer applicants
Have an updated resume and cover letter, that you can change for a specific scholarship
Dedicate a specific time each week for your scholarship research
Pay close attention to application deadline date/time, particularly if sending hardcopy documents
