**Check out places of work of your parents/guardians. They may have a scholarship for employee’s children! **
**Check out any clubs/organizations/sports that you may have been involved in and see if they have scholarships! ex) 4-H, Baseball Alberta, Toastmasters, Culinary classes… just to name a few!
**expect to see a lot of duplication from search sites, but they may have a few different scholarships/awards/bursaries listed so check them out.
