For the Toronto students who are going to a post-secondary school this year be sure to take advantage of what many students do not - BURSARIES!
Thousands ( THOUSANDS ) of dollars are left undeclared from the financial branches of schools that could have gone in to YOUR pockets! So what you need to do is take an hour from your busy days and visit your financial advisor in your school to see if you’re eligible for any bursaries.
TIP: Go at the very beginning of the semester and last few weeks to optimize your chances in getting the highest amount.
Usually the question that will be asked is why you should be considered for a bursary. The best answer is the one filled with the most sympathy. For example,
. My parents no longer support me because _____
. Working two jobs; homework; supporting your family
. Transportation costs
. Food costs
. Books costs
Remember, it’s free money and it’s time that you get something for all that you are doing from working at that job you hate to studying long hours in to the night. Just do it. You’ll be happy when you leave your distinguished schools DEBT-FREE!
