Types of Awards
SCHOLARSHIPS
A scholarship is a monetary gift based on merit or excellence in a particular area.
Examples of what might be part of a scholarship application:
- academics
- athletics
- fine arts
- school and/or community involvement
- leadership
- student government
- academic competitions
- volunteer activities
Entrance scholarships are given to students by the university/college they have applied to. Info about entrance scholarships for prospective first-year students is available on the website of each university/college. Many entrance scholarships are automatic (based on grades) but there are some that have a separate application the student needs to complete. These awards are presented to students who excel in academics, or other areas such as athletics, fine arts, community involvement or leadership.
NOMINATED AWARDS
Some scholarships and awards are "nominated," which means the student needs to be nominated by the school in order to apply/be considered. Ms. Fernandes will be sending out info to her e-mail list on nominated scholarships that come up throughout the year.
Students are asked to submit their Nominated Scholarship Student Profile to the Career Centre by October 1st: you can submit later than this date, but the sooner you hand in your profile, the more awards you will potentially be considered for. You have to submit the Profile to be considered for any Nominated scholarships- it is available on the front page of this website.

Ms. Fernandes will be sending out any info she receives about scholarships to her e-mail list throughout the year.
