Have you ever thought of how exciting it is to get a scholarship, partly or fully funded especially to study abroad?
There is no one who wouldn’t wish for this, even the rich will want this for their kids to ease the cost. But many are skeptical about applying for scholarships to study abroad, maybe because they lack the knowledge of how to go about it or because they feel it is very difficult or nearly impossible to get one.
Truth be told, it is not easy to get one, but it is not impossible, and with this article, you will be led by the hand, step by step on how to apply for scholarship in Canada.
Why Choose Canada?
Out of the many countries abroad, Canada is among those that offer good opportunities to international students to study and also has a wide range of scholarships available to choose from. Canada boasts of about 96 Universities scattered across its urban and rural areas, amongst which are some of the top universities globally. Another eye-catchy attraction is that it has two national languages; English and French.
Canada also has colleges that offer short courses and diplomas. So whatever it is you wish for, it has diversities that will definitely meet your taste.
Canada also offers work and study opportunities. As a full-time student, you are entitled to work 20 hours per week during semesters and full-time during winter/summer break. So there a definitely advantages to working in Canada.
In as much as this article is to guide you in how to apply for scholarship in Canada, I feel I should warn you about the cold. If you don’t have a good tolerance for cold, you might want to look elsewhere.

Step by Step Guide In Applying For Scholarship In Canada.
1. Ensure you understand the requirements.
Before applying for any scholarship or any program, it is important you understand the requirements and check for eligibility. The same applies for Canadian scholarships, there are requirements that need to be met to avoid disqualification. Make sure you check out for that.
2. Research on available Scholarships and make your choice of school
There are many scholarships available for international students with different funding prices. Make your research and apply for as many as possible.
3. Early application is necessary.
One of the things that make it difficult to get scholarship abroad is late application, as early birds will be given consideration. So start your planning on time.
4. Reference letter
This is important and should be taken seriously. Let it be written by one who really knows you and should not be relatives or family members. The letter should carry a letterhead and be signed.
5. Think creativity not only academics
Scholarship is not only based on academic merit. Some scholarships are offered based on sportsmanship or whatever talent you have, be it music, dance e.t.c.
