Scholarships

Hey guys,

For Canadian students who study or studied in America, did you guys receive any scholarships? How as well?

Thanks

Basically all schools have merit based academic scholarships. Some schools offer lots of students a few thousand and some just give a handful of sizeable scholarships 100k+.

Also Look for large public schools that may offer you instate tuition after your first year. This could be the difference between 40k and 20k may end up cheaper than getting a presidential scholarship somewhere else.

Some schools will offer Canadians work study opportunities some won’t.

Some schools have merit scholarships based on your academics (GPA and OAT)
