��ݮ����Ƶ���� offers $20 million in scholarships, awards and bursaries each year to prospective high school students. Please note that our Entrance Award program is available for both Canadian and international applicants. Applicants must first apply for admission to be considered. ��ݮ����Ƶ����'s award application is competitive. 

Entrance Awards for high school students are split into three unique categories:

• Automatic Admission Awards
• Prestige Awards
• High School Entrance Awards

External awards are available from many sources outside of the university and are a great way to supplement your funding. They have a variety of criteria and deadlines. We have links to a number of different sources on our external awards finance webpage.  

Clubs, associations and organizations also often provide educational funding to their members and dependents. Check with the clubs or organizations that you or your family members are involved with to see if they offer any awards or funding opportunities.

Be sure to also speak with your school guidance counsellor about awards. Many high schools have scholarship programs that you could access to help fund your studies.   

RESPs are one source of funding you many use to finance your education. It’s best to begin the process of accessing RESPs as early as June of the year you’re entering university. The Government of Canada’s has a detailed explanation of how to access and use RESPs to pay for your schooling. 

To release your money, RESP vendors often ask for a confirmation of registration letter. To access RESPs, you’ll need a confirmation of registration letter (select the “without fees” version of the letter). Learn how to print your confirmation of registration letter (without fees) on our finances webpage. Scroll to the “current students” section for details. 

There are many part-time jobs that will allow you the freedom to pursue your studies while also earning some extra money. And many of them are on campus!
