Pay for School with an Upcoming Workshop
Community Foundation Grey Bruce (CFGB) is hosting a workshop for parents and students to help families find, apply for, and get approved for scholarships, bursaries, and awards to support post-secondary education on May 2, 2023.
“At the Foundation we offer 29 scholarships just for local students to apply for through our website every year. This year, there will be about $132,000 supporting our community in their post-secondary education” says Stuart Reid, Executive Director of CFGB. Opportunities are available for students attending University, College, and trade schools, and many are open to students continuing in their second, or upper years of education.
The Foundation is hosting a virtual workshop on May 2 at 7:00 pm that will address questions on the different types of education grants, how to find scholarships, and tips and tricks for your applications. We will also be sharing information during the workshop about the provincial OSAP program. CFGB Grant Coordinator Jen Legge says “We know it feels like a complicated world to navigate for students and that’s why we are always improving our Pay for School search, and simplifying our application process. We’re here as a resource for families.”
“We are so fortunate to have generous individuals and organizations that have created endowments for the purposes of granting scholarships in perpetuity. Our list keeps growing! This year we have a new scholarship to grant thanks to the Optimist Club of Sydenham and District.” Reid tells us.
Students and parents can register for the workshop here. Information and applications for students can be accessed there, and the Pay for School search engine will draw their attention to over 300 additional scholarship opportunities across the province.
