What if I need help paying for it?


Matt from Lakehead University shares his thoughts on the sources of financial help available

Narrator: Do you wonder if it is worth the time and effort to start college, university, or an apprenticeship? You are not alone. Are there too many choices? Does it cost too much? Is it too difficult? Each year thousands of people just like you struggle with these type of questions.

Since I am in grade eleven (11), and if I am thinking about going to university or college, in the next two years it's kind of hard to get enough money to pay for that. But, if there were scholarships that they would tell us about that we could do, to take, to get the money to pay for that than it would be a lot easier and less stressful.

Always look at grants, scholarships, bursaries, anything you can when you are applying, and even when you are in post secondary education. Every year there is stuff to apply on, and the schools will tell you, and give you lot's of information where you can get free money and where you can get loans from the government. Money is an issue; try not to worry about it. You will get by in the end. It's worth it.
