High school students should consult with their School Counsellor in order to determine what scholarships may be available to them.
Students who are graduating from high school or are currently enrolled in post-secondary studies should contact the post-secondary institution's Financial Aid and Awards office, or obtain an awards handbook from that institution, for information on the scholarships and bursaries available.
Other scholarships are generally publicized through the sponsoring groups or organizations. For example, music awards are offered at festivals and competitions, and professional awards are offered through industry associations.
Several Scholarships and Bursaries are available each year for Manitoba Air Cadets or ex-cadets. These rewards are not always allocated as there may be no applicants; therefore, if you are qualified -- go for it!
The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation can help you achieve the future you want. Created by the federal government, the Foundation provides a range of bursaries, awards and scholarships to improve access to Canadian post-secondary education.
The Foundation offers to support students who want the benefit of a post-secondary education. These financial offerings are not loans, and will not have to be repaid. Three categories of support are available for qualifying students:
- Millennium Bursary Program;
- Millennium Excellence Award Program; and
- World Petroleum Congresses Millennium Scholarship Program.
The scholarship is open to any student who is a resident of the Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario Command and who is entering or continuing in the Faculty of Physio/Occupational Therapy or Bachelor of Nursing in a recognized Canadian University on a full-time basis. The number and amount of the scholarship will be determined annually by the Provincial Council according to funds available. More information is available from the Provincial Command.
This scholarship recognizes Manitoba Cadets who are active in their cadet unit and who best demonstrate attributes of leadership, citizenship, element support, academic excellence, a high level of physical fitness and community involvement outside the cadet movement. An annual award of $500.00 is presented to a cadet of each of the cadet environments. Nominations will be solicited each year by the RMI through the Region Cadet Detachment Winnipeg.
The award is open to students that are members of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets during the year of application, and it is awarded on the basis of Secondary School scholastic achievement, combined with outstanding performance as an Air Cadet. The amount of the award will be determined annually, and it will be dependent upon the earnings of the investment trust.
Applicants must be graduates of the Secondary School (or equivalent) system of any Province or Territory, in the year of application, and who are entering directly into a full program of studies at a fully-accredited post-secondary education facility (university, college or technical institute) where the program to be undertaken leads to a degree, diploma, or professional or technical qualification. More information is available at the National Air Cadet League Web Site.
