Participate in Open Houses, meet the Reps at SHS and research online. • Choose the institution(s) that will best suit your needs and apply online at the institutions website or print the applications and submit through the mail. Students should apply by March 1st for scholarship consideration. Some deadline dates are earlier for limited enrolment programs. • Request a transcript – from Ms. Avery in Student Services • Mail the transcript upon application, after Semester 1 and at the end of June. Students will receive two sealed transcripts with their Grad diplomas in June.

  7. Scholarship $$$ Other than academic success and financial need, scholarship providers look for applicants who can demonstrate: • Originality and Passion – what makes you stand out from all the other applicants? • Volunteering & Community Service – do you give back to the community? Have you volunteered? • Leadership and Initiative – are you a founding member or have you taken an active role in a club or organization? • Talent – are you a Van Gogh? Future Spielberg? Do you have a vision? • Scholarships reward fresh thinking and new ideas. • Special targeted areas – specific heritage or cultural background, gender, special needs, geography and more.
