Looking for scholarships and awards

There is money to be found to help you reach your post secondary goals, whether it be to purchase tools, footwear, pay tuition etc., but you must do the research. Scholarships are not just based on marks. Many are for students who are in financial need or for students who have demonstrated leadership, active community or school involvement and or have a special circumstance.
