ScholarTree Scholarship opportunities

At ScholarTree, we always look for various scholarships that apply to as many different types of students as possible. We have found that the more unique a scholarship criteria, the more likely a student is to apply and, more importantly, win that particular scholarship. We have made a concerted effort to add more unique scholarships in the last month. We have added over 20 brand-new scholarships in the last couple of weeks.

Here are some scholarships that are exclusive to ScholarTree:

Scholarships for Indigenous Students

Our scholarships for Indigenous students work to address the education inequity faced by Indigenous peoples in Alberta by making post-secondary studies more financially accessible.

The $1,500 awards are based on scholastic achievement, financial need and community involvement. Scholarship recipients are selected by an external committee with expertise in academia and Indigenous education.

Scholar Tree

Scholarship season is fully underway. There are currently over 8 Million Dollars worth of scholarships open for applications on ScholarTree! This week alone, we have added 15 scholarships worth over $120,000.

Once students complete their profiles, they will be matched to all the awards they qualify for. However, many students miss that at the top left-hand corner of their scholarship list, they can filter scholarships by various categories: Program of Study, Ethnicity, Financial Need, etc.
