Hello Graduating Bears,

ScholarTree has shared some of their resources including scholarship opportunities.  I am forwarding it on to you to take a peek. Keep in mind, they’ve shared three specific scholarships in this update, but if you search ScholarTree’s website https://scholartree.ca/ you’ll find even more.  Happy searching.

ScholarTree

At ScholarTree, we always look for various scholarships that apply to as many different types of students as possible. We have found that the more unique a scholarship criteria, the more likely a student is to apply and, more importantly, win that particular scholarship. We have made a concerted effort to add more unique scholarships in the last month, adding over 20 brand-new scholarships in the last couple of weeks. 

Here are some scholarships that are exclusive to ScholarTree:

Having good grades is vital to many scholarships. Here are some blogs that talk about how to achieve better grades:

Getting into specific programs is becoming increasingly competitive. Here are some blogs covering the application process of some of the more competitive programs:

RE: Major Entrance Scholarships

Hello, Graduating Bears of 2025 and Parents/Guardians,

There are several prestigious awards coming up, some in the very near future and some a little ways off.  We encourage all of you to be investigating scholarship opportunities on your own so that you don’t miss out on the application deadlines.  I’ve taken this opportunity to highlight a few of the highly competitive scholarships below for university-bound students (some may require a nomination from the school, so read carefully).

Loran Scholar – due Tuesday October 15th, 2024, 8pm

https://loranscholar.ca/

A student in their final year of uninterrupted full-time studies in high school, present a minimum cumulative average of 85% and hold a Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status; based on evidence of integrity, courage, grit, and a high level of personal autonomy.

Queen’s University Chancellor Scholarship

Future Students Major Admission Awards | Registrar & Financial Aid Services (queensu.ca)

For the Queen’s Chancellor Scholarship, CPHS is permitted to nominate one applicant from our graduating class.  If you are interested in being considered for this, then you must act very soon and email Mrs. Anderson by October 10th, 2024, stating your intention.  Mrs. Anderson will then notify these students specifically of the next steps.  Final applications for this award are due December 8th, 2024, but you must also apply to Queen’s University on OUAC by no later than November 20th, 2024.

 

Schulich Leader Scholarship – Not due until January 29th, 2025, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look.

https://www.schulichleaders.com/#slide-top

This is the most prestigious undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Scholarship in Canada.  This Scholarship requires a nomination from your school.  A separate email with details about how to be considered will be sent out;  keep an eye out for it if you are interested in being considered.

There are more big scholarships and awards available and as we receive the information, we will be sure to pass it onto all of you, our graduating class…..what a great reason to keep checking your school email regularly. 😊

Each individual university also has their own Major awards with deadlines often set in the fall.  I would encourage you to look at the specific universities you may be interested in applying too so that you don’t miss out.  For example, here are three:


National Scholarship from the University of Toronto

https://future.utoronto.ca/national-scholarship/about/
