Types of Funding Award - An award is given in recognition of outstanding achievement. Awards may be in the form of books, plaques, subscriptions or money. A monetary award is usually called a scholarship or bursary. Bursary - A non-repayable grant of money. Bursaries are awarded primarily based on financial need, but academic achievement is also considered. Usually, the applicant must provide detailed documentation describing their financial situation when applying for a bursary. Scholarship - A non-repayable sum of money awarded to a student to help finance further education. Most scholarships are based on merit in areas ranging from academic achievement to athletics. Usually, scholarships are not based on financial need. Entrance Award/Scholarship - A scholarship or award given to a student entering his/her first year at a post-secondary institution. Loan - The Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan work together to provide student financial assistance for post-secondary students. Line of Credit - Banks provide access to funds to those attending an accredited Canadian university or college to cover tuition, textbooks and other personal expenses.
