AWARDS, BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Awards, bursaries and scholarships are available to students attending post-secondary programs throughout Ontario. AWARDS: An award is a gift which can be a sum of money or citation which is given to a student to recognize achievement in some capacity as established by the donor. BURSARIES: A bursary is a monetary or equivalent award granted to a student or potential student to enable that person to continue studies. It is based primarily on financial need, but achievement is also considered. SCHOLARSHIPS: A scholarship is an award of money or equivalent granted to a student toward the expense of further study. It is based on academic achievement, but need may also be considered. Scholarship recipients are generally selected based on donor established criteria. A list is included in this package for your perusal and also posted on the St. John’s College website (www.sjconline.ca) under Student Services.
