Studyabroad

Not only is this website a scholarship portal it is also an excellent source of information if you're looking to study abroad. Studyabroad.com compiles the best scholarships from other websites and displays them in an easy to understand format. I encourage students to use this resource to collect information and develop questions that they have about scholarships and studying abroad to bring to the US College Expo to ask the professionals. https://www.studyabroad.com/study-abroad-scholarships

Yconic

Anyone who has ever looked for a scholarship knows what Yconic is, and it's for good reason. Yconic has one of the largest databases of scholarships and also acts as a social network for students. If you have any worries you can find a thread of other students going through the same thing and offering their advice. Plus, Yconic sends you email newsletters to update you on what scholarships are now available and which ones have deadlines coming up. There is also a feature that allows you to shortlist the ones you want to apply to. This makes organizing your scholarships a simple task. https://yconic.com/

Government of Canada

Of course, you can always count on the Canadian government to have your back. Their website offers plenty of scholarships as well as their guidelines in a way that is easy to overview. However, it doesn't offer the ease of use that the other websites do. If you're willing to do a bit of searching through their website you'll be able to find many scholarships that are only available to Canadian students.. https://www.educanada.ca/scholarships-bourses/can/index.aspx?lang=eng
