Each post-secondary institution has a financial aid program, including scholarships and bursaries. A scholarship or award given to a student entering their first year of studies at a post-secondary institution is called an entrance award. You apply directly to the post-secondary institution. Check their website for information and application deadlines. You can usually locate information about entrance awards under the Financial Aid or Student Services tabs of the post-secondary institution's website.

In addition to entrance awards, post-secondary institutions also offer bursary programs to meet the financial needs of students. These programs typically open for application after you have been admitted to the college or university. Depending on the post-secondary institution, you typically apply for bursaries starting in August through October for the upcoming Fall semester. Use the summer to do some research! The Financial Awards Office of your post-secondary institution can help you apply for bursaries and other forms of financial aid (such as student loans). Don't hesitate to ask for their help.
