The following list of major national and provincial scholarships is intended as a general guide of the types of scholarships available, and does not include every one of the tens of thousands of scholarships out there. For a more comprehensive list of provincial and national scholarships, or to learn about student loans and grants, the following websites are very informative:

• http://www.studentawards.com
• http://www.canlearn.ca
• http://www.nlsd.ab.ca – for Northern Lights School Division awards and scholarships and links to other awards and scholarships.

Most of the scholarships are competitive, meaning that eligibility does not necessarily guarantee winning the award. Post-secondary institutions offer their own scholarships based mainly on entrance averages and financial need. Scholarship terms and deadlines are subject to change.
