Many diverse scholarship opportunities are available to graduating students in local, national,
and international categories. Scholarships are awarded to students for academic achievement,
involvement in either the school community or the local community. In addition, the St. James
Assiniboia School Division offers our students a wide variety of scholarships that celebrate the
hard work and success of our 2022 graduates.
CSHC Student Services is an excellent resource to learn about the opportunities available, but it
is important for students to explore the possibilities on their own to discover what is available
and determine what will be the best fit. In general, there are 3 ways to access scholarships.
1. The University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg, Brandon University and Université de
St. Boniface award entrance scholarships to students graduating from a Manitoba high
school provided they submit a regular entrance application by the specified deadline and
meet the academic grades required. The scholarships range from $800 to $3,000.
Students applying to post-secondary institutions outside of the province should check the
offers available where they plan to apply.
2. Students should also check the list of available scholarships below. Click on the link and
read the information to determine if you qualify. The school may require additional
information if a nomination process is in place or that award. In addition, students are
encouraged to sign up for one of the scholarship websites. An example would be
https://www.scholarshipscanada.com/
3. At the school level, students can apply for scholarships available to CSHC graduating
students using the survey form located here:
https://www.sjasd.ca/school/sturgeonheights/
About/Grad2021/Pages/default.aspx#/=. These scholarships include school board cash
awards and other scholarships offered through external organizations that are distributed
to CSHC graduating students in June at the graduation ceremony.
4. Please see the link below for the list of awards offered in the St. James-Assiniboia School
Division on behalf of contributions made to the St. James-Assiniboia Scholarship
Foundation. Awards are categorized by schools and education level

It is important to note that beyond entrance scholarships, there can be other university
scholarships available to students. Please use the financial aid and awards page of each
institution to determine what is available.
