Searching for Scholarships
Using the tools available to you for finding awards, scholarships and bursaries.
With over 99,000 scholarships and bursaries in the ScholarshipsCanada.com database, finding the right one can be overwhelming. Using some of the search tools on the site can help you out.
Get Matched
The easiest way to find scholarships is to create a profile on ScholarshipsCanada.com. Be sure to fill out as much information as you can — the more complete your profile, the better your matches.
Once you've filled out your profile, you'll land on your dashboard, where you'll find your matching scholarships. You can use the filter options at the top of the list and the column headings to help sort your scholarships. Remember, you can change your profile at any time, to see what sorts of matches you get.
When you find a scholarship that you want to apply to or get more info on, you can save it by clicking the check mark (✓) beside the scholarship name. If you're not interested, you can check the x-mark (✗) to discard the scholarship. These saved and discarded scholarships will go into the appropriately marked lists, so you can always find them again.
Each scholarship profile has details on deadline, requirements and further contact information.
TIP 1 | Monthly Views is an indication of how many people have viewed the scholarship. The scholarships with very high views will be more competitive. The ones with low monthly views will be less competitive — and may be hidden gems!
TIP 2 | Sign up for scholarship deadline alerts to ensure that you're notified of scholarship deadlines! You'll get a monthly email with awards that are closing soon.
