How to win scholarships

Scholarships

There are various forms of scholarship available, but the most common in our country is called “grants-in-aid” or GIA (Grants and Incentives). It provides a donor with funding that must be used towards academic achievement, research or service. Grades and honors can be applied as special awards for students completing an approved degree course. An active student has additional options such as student loans, fellowships, postgraduate fellowships, and assistantship programs and apprenticeships. The University of Western Ontario offers two types of grants – Masterful Learning Grants and Student Developmental Grants. A masterful learning grant awards the recipient with tuition and fees towards obtaining certain courses, while a student development grant gives a scholar a chance to receive funds or financial assistance for a specific course. To become eligible for a student development grant or aid you have to take 12 credits in one year. These offer funding and instruction on the same subjects but at different levels, thus providing more than one benefit. For example, if a student takes an undergraduate program in engineering, a masterful learning grant will give them additional exposure to industrial work or business management. If they choose to pursue their honours degrees, this will provide them with access to senior executive positions within companies, schools and universities, who may help them learn how to navigate these environments. They may also be interested in further education in science or technology, so they may be encouraged to study abroad where there is a strong focus on a particular discipline. This would allow them have the flexibility to stay in Canada and travel around the world in order to experience all the cultures and civilizations of our region. For students who want to study overseas or choose a major in a foreign language, a masterful learning grant can open doors for them to do so or to explore new sources of knowledge and information which may include speaking English, writing in another language or even traveling further to obtain an international perspective on a subject matter. Students from poor families can use college-level grants to support their education if it allows them to obtain a better education in addition to helping them improve their financial circumstances. However, there is a catch – only 10% of students from low income backgrounds actually receive a masterful learning grant or aid from any university or college. That means only those who already had some form of assistance from the government can apply for grants, including the federal government’s Social Security Disability Insurance Fund, because the government has provided no funding to low-income students since 1996. You can find out which grants are funded by your school using the Government website linked below.

Students working towards achieving educational goals

Working toward a career goal

To continue your education you need to complete mandatory applications for continuing education requirements or CAPROCs from your current employer. For example, you might be required to fill up a “Know Your Employer Requirements Form” that outlines your qualifications or relevant skills/experience that makes you qualified by your employer to enter into contractual, full time or part time employment. Once this data is entered into an online database, however, it becomes public. Not many employers will have their employees search this database or use it to make decisions but sometimes there will be private sector employers that might want to view the data. And for some individuals they will also give their own assessment results and comments on their performance. For example, you could be considered successful if you received four grade points or higher, took a minimum of 80 per cent and above in a unit offered under the National Certificate or Diploma Framework, or you scored 90 per cent in an area of your interest, but you could have performed dismally with lower grades such as 20 per cent or less in math or a few fewer in reading and spelling. On the other hand, you might not qualify if a number of your work hours were spent in excess of the limit or standard and you had some sort of disability or illness. Or if you were paid significantly less than what your employer was paying you for doing your job. But regardless of the outcomes, your employer is responsible for determining whether you have been successful in achieving your individual goals and the benefits you have obtained. After all, students are often looking to achieve higher social mobility or to gain employment in their chosen job, and to do so they need to work hard and to achieve academically and socially. If they meet these requirements of a good work ethic, excellent communication skills or problem solving skills then they will be more likely to be employed in the future and have a greater sense of belonging and value. As well, studying abroad for a short period will expose students to a different culture and language and to have a broader outlook on life and on society. Many international students want to travel to the Caribbean or South America during a given summer holiday. And, there are lots of reasons why many people want to travel to certain countries or regions during holidays or long periods of time. Those who do are able to have great benefits for themselves as well as for the communities in which they live. International students are not entitled to the same things that others can – especially not in a developing country. Their education systems and living standards for example, does not permit them to see things like health care and basic services just as everyone else because they lack adequate capacity to cope with them. They can find out more information about the type of work they can expect to get when they select a field or profession. Some international students will then look to gain employment in the host country or industry they choose which might work for them if all goes well, or they might even consider moving to the United Kingdom itself. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased costs, and it could mean that students’ plans may not be as effective as they desired because they are forced to pay for accommodation and transport costs, foodstuff and other items they might not otherwise have been able to buy in the home country in which they now reside. Also, if the student wants to go away for longer periods of time, they will use their savings to cover the cost of moving. Therefore, having an understanding of the culture and living standards in a country is essential to students and their success in the future, and not being educated about these may cause problems to the person and his or her family. If students are taught what is expected of them and the type of life they should lead then they will not look to move away from that country or change countries in search of better opportunities. One way to ensure that students are aware of the culture, living standards and business opportunities in a country and to help them decide which country they intend to choose is through international students' association groups and local associations.
