Finding resources to attend post-secondary studies isn’t that difficult. However, it takes time
and effort to look for awards. There is no simple click that will point you to all the funds
available and there is no comprehensive book to tell you everything.
If you spend the time, you will be paid for the work you put into it. Even if you only spend
one day looking for awards, you may end up with a $500 award. That is pretty good for one
day of work.
The most important thing to always remember is that if you don’t apply, you won’t receive
anything.
8 Places to Look
1. High School
Visit the Guidance Counselor’s office. They usually receive resources from many donors
and an experienced counselor can be invaluable to your search.
2. Institution of Study
Another good place to start is at the school where you intend to enroll. Every post-
secondary institution has an Awards Program. Most have their awards listed on their
website.
Many awards at the institutions do not get enough applicants simply because students have
left it to the last minute. Most institutions make an effort to post their awards well ahead of
the deadlines. Once you have enrolled in a particular institution, make sure you pay
attention to the emails the college awards office will send you.
3. Local Community
Often local awards will not be found on the internet. These awards are generally offered
through community clubs, charitable foundations, local employers, and community
organizations.
10

____________________________________________________________________________________
Many companies offer programs for employees and employees’ dependents as part of their
benefit package. Ask your parents. Students who work part-time should also check with
their own employer.
5. Professional Organizations
Professional organizations want to promote their profession. Many national groups have
local affiliates, so always check locally and nationally. See what they have to offer. For
example: A.P.E.G.G.A, an engineering association, offers many scholarships for students
interested in Engineering.
6. Industry
Think about where you would seek employment upon completion of studies. Many
industries offer awards to encourage development of a skilled workforce. You don’t have to
work for the company offering the scholarship, simply take advantage of the opportunity to
apply.
Many companies and organizations offer awards to assist specific students. If you are of
aboriginal ancestry there are many awards established to assist aboriginal students. There
are also many awards offered through organizations that support citizens with disabilities.
Check with your local support organization or their affiliated national websites.
8. Internet
There are several different ways in which you should use the internet in searching for
awards.
Google Search
Remember that when you are using a search engine, such as Google, you need to be as
specific as possible. For example, if you are looking for scholarships for engineering, you
should be searching for “Engineering Scholarships” or “Scholarships for Engineering”.
11
Information provided by StudentScholarships.org
____________________________________________________________________________________
The more specific your search, the more likely you are to find scholarships quickly. Another
great example would be to include the country or province you are from in the search. For
example, if you are looking for scholarships for engineering, you should be searching for
“Canadian Engineering Scholarships” or “Scholarships for Canadian Engineering Students”.
2. Scholarship Databases
There are several websites devoted to collecting and sorting through scholarships on the
internet. Our preference is obviously Studentscholarships.org, but there are several other
search engines that will help during your search. Some of the sites include:
A) www.studentscholarships.org
B) www.albertascholarships.ca
C) www.ammsa.com
D) www.nursingscholarships.ca
E) www.nupge.ca/scholarships
F) www.engineeringscholarships.ca
G) www.listofscholarships.ca
If you are unsure about some of the qualifications of the award you have found, write or
email the possible donor(s). Do not call. Make your letter short and to the point; just identify
yourself and request information and an application. If you are writing, enclose a stamped,
self-addressed envelope for a quick response.
Before contacting the donor, ensure that the information can not be found online. In most
instances, answers to your questions can be found online.
Don’t apply for awards at the last minute or when you are bogged down with term papers
and homework. You won’t feel like putting in the effort and your applications will likely reflect
that.
12
Information provided by StudentScholarships.org
____________________________________________________________________________________
There are many awards that are given based on community involvement, satisfactory
academic standing, ethnic origins, specific interests, financial need, etc.
Most Importantly
Our advice is to apply, apply and then apply some more! If you do not receive an award
right away, don't be discouraged. Intensify your search. Keep a record of all awards and
bursaries you apply for and reapply each year.

About
Red Deer College was established in 1964, and its initial focus was to
provide education to a smaller, semi-rural community in the province.
However, its four and a half decade of academic existence has
evolved and grown into the third largest college in the province. It
started with only 119 students, and has since expanded to 20,000
students. However, despite this increase in size, RDC has never lost
the intimate community environment that it gives to its learners. The
mission of Red Deer is for students to "have a foundation of
knowledge and skills which enables them to develop to their full
potential."

The Students' Association of Red Deer College is the governing body of the students. Its mission is to "enrich and enhance the
quality of student life at Red Deer College by providing affordable and quality services, effective political representation and exciting
opportunities for its members." Aside from representing the students in matters of advocacy and rights protection, some of its other
services include: locker rentals, faxing, used bookstore, poster approval, food bank, and photocopiers.
In 2005, the college constructed a $29 million fund for an initiative called “Healthy Communities Complex.” It is also undergoing a
“greener campus” campaign that helps to inform and educate the College community of the value of energy and water conservation.
The school will implement more programs, such as recycling, and alternative modes of transportation (bicycling and walking).
