| What is the difference between
a scholarship, award and a bursary?
A scholarship is an awards recognizing academic excellence or achievement.
In certain cases financial need may be taken into account as a secondary
criterion to decide between candidates of approximately equal achievement.
A bursary is an award that is distributed based on financial need.
When applying for a bursary you must supply a financial disclosure
form. Bursaries may also request that applicants meet certain geographical
or demographic requirements. An award is a loosely defined term
referring to awards that are neither scholarships or bursaries.
In certain cases awards may be plaques or recognition certificates,
while in other cases awards my be professional memberships coupled
with cash prizes.
What is the difference between an entering, returning, graduating
and post-graduate student?
An entering student is someone who is entering
post-secondary education for the first time. An entering student
may not necessarily have come straight from high school. An entering
student may also be a mature student who is entering college after
several years in the workforce.
A returning student is a student who has completed
first year of studies in a two or three year Loyalist College program.
A graduating student is someone who is completing
their two or three year program of studies at Loyalist College.
Many award and scholarship recipients are identified by program
coordinators as having excelled in their studies. These awards generally
recognize achievement once a student is graduating from Loyalist
College.
A post-graduate student is someone who has graduated from a university
or college program and is now entering post-graduate studies at
Loyalist College.
All of the awards/bursaries will be presented at the Awards Ceremony
in the fall, unless otherwise noted.
Application Deadline: September 30, 2004.
