Using a tool like ScholarshipsCanada.com or the Finance section of SchoolFinder.com is the first step in a thorough search for scholarships. But using the tool effectively is what can make a difference between a good search and an outstanding search.
Remember that if you find an award that you like, you can always save it into MyStuff so you don't have to look up the same awards every time!
Searching by keyword.
This tool is great if you know the name of the scholarship you are looking for. For example, you could enter in the name of our award - EDge Directory Scholarship - and immediately find the listing in our database.

Searching by school or field of study.
This is a handy tool to use if you are already in a post-secondary school or if you know what school you are interested in attending. By using the drop-down school list, you can obtain a list of all the awards and scholarships in our database that are either offered by that school or require that you be attending or entering that school to be eligible for them.

Searching by field of study.
We list over 600 fields of study in our database, ranging from Aboriginal studies to zoology. Want to see every award available to you if you choose a particular field of study? Than this tool is for you.

Advanced Searches.
This is the most powerful scholarship search on our sites. You can filter awards by year of study, field of study, heritage, region of residence, region of study, academic average, extracurricular activities, affiliations and many other categories. After doing your search, you can sort your results by award name, value, or deadline.

We always recommend doing more than one advanced search to make sure you cover all your bases. Try different criteria and see what happens.
If you settle on a particular search, don't worry; you won't have to keep doing it every time you visit the site. We save one advanced search and if a new scholarship is added that fits that search criteria, it will be added to the search results automatically.
Other ways to find scholarships on SchoolFinder.com.
On SchoolFinder.com there are two other ways to find scholarships. The first is to go to a school profile and look at the scholarships offered for that school. The second way is to look up a specific program in one of the school profiles and see if it has any scholarships listed for it in the program description.

And last but not least, we should mention that one of the best features on our SchoolFinder.com is that everything is interconnected.
