Free money is within reach if you know where to look
If you are or ever have been a
student, you know how tight
money can be. Student loans can
be helpful, but once you graduate,
you have to pay it all back — with
interest. Fanshawe College offers
more opportunities for free cash
than you would think, you just
have to go find them.
The Fanshawe money website (fanshawemoney.ca) has complete listings of bursaries and scholarships, as well as information about OSAP financial aid. The online bursary application allows you to search for, apply to and find out information about all of the bursaries offered. While most of the bursaries stopped accepting applications at the end of September, many bursaries open up for the winter semester as well. Open for new applications now and ending on December 16 are the Aboriginal Post Secondary Education Training Bursary and Ontario First Generation Student Bursary. Over 50 other bursaries open for the month of January and several others open throughout the rest of the winter semester.
Applying online is very simple but does require certain detailed personal information. Some of the things you should make sure you have ready when you apply online for any bursary include information about your or your parents' income for the previous tax year, how much money you earned in your pre-study period, your social insurance number, program information, a rough study-period budget and certain information needed to qualify for specific bursaries (e.g. bursaries only for Aboriginal or international students).
Fanshawe also participates in several scholarship programs. Applications are made through the Bursaries, Awards and Scholarships office in K1003 at Fanshawe College and are selected on the national/international competition level.
Now, if you've already applied for all of the bursaries and awards available to you, there are still ways to find more money. The work study program at Fanshawe provides part-time work opportunities for students who demonstrate financial need. This isn't free money, but it's an awesome opportunity to add quality experience to your resume. You aren't only limited to working at on-campus restaurants or variety stores; many of the job opportunities are directly related to many of the programs at Fanshawe. For example, I am studying journalism at Fanshawe and landed my dream job, writing for our student newspaper, through the work study program. For more information about this program, visit tinyurl.com/fanshaweworkstudy.
Details about available scholarships, bursaries and awards can be found at the Bursaries, Awards and Scholarships office in room K1003 or online at fanshawemoney.ca. For more information about how Financial Aid can help you, visit tinyurl.com/fanshawefinancialaid or check out the office in E2020.
