Search tips

If you know what you’re looking for

If you know a little bit about the scholarship, or the type of scholarship you are looking for the best place to start is the Search for text box, which will look for a matching word or phrase in any of these places:

• the Scholarship name
• the Scholarship description
• keywords
• the eligibility description

For advanced searching use the Search Scholarships and Prizes tool. This will help you narrow down your results, or expand your choices.

The more criteria you select the narrower the search

You can view scholarships under some general classifications and keep adding additional search criteria to narrow it down. The search results page will give you summary of your search criteria

If you get too many results

Narrow your search down by:

• Selecting Only include Scholarships/prizes if application close date is within next three months, or

• Unselect Include general and College-wide scholarships/prizes

Changing the order in which you view your search results

The search results are presented in application close date order, but you can change this order by clicking any of the categories listed along side the You can also view by. The arrow next to the category shows you if it is listed in ascending or descending order. Just click on the category name to toggle the sort order.

What’s the difference between a scholarship and a prize?

• If the Application required only box is selected it will limit the search results to only scholarships.

• Prizes are generally awarded on merit and do not need an application, so if you want to see what prizes are available select No application required only.

• If you want a full list of both scholarships and prizes, select Not specified.
