We’re excited to announce that myBlueprint has partnered with the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CSTF) to give away $150,000 in bursaries.

So, these bursaries are designed specifically to support students who have financial need.

• There are 25 bursaries, each valued at $6,000
• The bursaries are based on financial need
• CSTF is specifically looking for students who demonstrate strong character: resiliency, community-mindedness and commitment to excellence
• Interested students can access the application form within their myBlueprint account (in the Scholarships tab)
• The deadline to apply is May 7, 2021

We’ve included all the information you need to know and answers to your questions here.
