Scholarship Information
Eastdale offers many local scholarships and bursaries that have been generously donated by the community. The recipients are decided by the Eastdale Scholarship Committee and do not require an application. These awards are announced and handed out at graduation.
Additionally, the DSBN has put together a list of scholarships that are available to our students. Please take time to review the general list of scholarships and bursaries available to DSBN students.
www.scholarshipscanada.com is a large database of thousands of scholarships! Storwell Foster Children's Bursary Program is available to students who have been involved in the Canadian or American foster care system.
Colleges and universities may have their own scholarships and criteria. Students are encouraged to explore the websites of schools they have applied to. For example, Brock University offers a scholarship for students maintaining an 80% average or higher!
It is very important to review the criteria and eligibility for any scholarship you apply to, including deadlines.
Scholarships are awarded at all levels to students of all different disciplines and backgrounds. Scholarships based on community involvement or specific hobbies, talents, ethnic backgrounds, family affiliations, and identities also exist.
