Some scholarships for college are merit-based. You earn them by meeting or exceeding certain standards set by the scholarship-giver. Merit ones might be awarded based on academic achievement or on a combination of academics and a special talent, trait, or interest. Other are based on financial need.
Many are geared toward particular groups of people; for instance, there are scholarships for women or high school seniors. And some are available because of where you or your parent work, or because you come from a certain background (for instance, there are for military families).

There are various scholarships, grants and bursaries to be found here on our website for students living in England, America, Australia and South Africa. Information of who can apply, when to apply and how to apply is all found here on our website.

When do I apply for scholarships or a bursary?
That depends on each scholarship’s deadline. Some deadlines are as early as a year before college starts, so if you’re in high school now, you should be researching and applying during the summer between your junior and senior years.

How do I apply for bursary or a scholarships?
Each scholarship has its own requirements. The websites should give you an idea of who qualifies and how to apply. Make sure you read the application carefully, fill it out completely, and meet the application deadline.

How do I get my scholarship and bursary money?
That depends on the scholarship. The money might go directly to your college, where it will be applied to any tuition, fees, or other amounts you owe, and then any leftover funds given to you. Or it might be sent directly to you in a check. The provider should tell you what to expect when it informs you that you’ve been awarded the scholarship. If not, make sure to ask.

How does a scholarship or bursary affect my other student aid?
A scholarship will affect your other student aid because all your student aid added together can’t be more than your cost of attendance at your college or career school. So, you’ll need to let your school know if you’ve been awarded a scholarship so that the financial aid office can subtract that amount from your cost of attendance (and from certain other aid, such as loans, that you might have been offered). Then, any amount left can be covered by other financial aid for which you’re eligible. Questions? Ask your financial aid office.

Lots of companies give worthy individuals an opportunity to get experience working for a company, this give you and them the opportunity to see if you like the work environment and the job you are doing, and it gives the company a chance to see if you can do the job and your attitude, the pay is normally not that great, and sometimes its nothing, but where else can you get free education?
