Canadian Disability Scholarships

Canadian disability scholarships come in two categories. The first one is a student who is disabled and looking for Canadian student aid. The second is disability studies themselves – this is where anyone (disabled or not) can study in the field of disability type of training/studies in order to have a career helping and working with the disabled in some manner.

When looking for Canada disability scholarships you must make sure that that the province the disability scholarship is for is the province you live in. To be eligible for Canadian scholarships and bursaries in general, you must be a resident of that particular province. Otherwise you cannot apply. Also just as critical is paying attention to the scholarship criteria is all too important and you may waste your time filling out the application.

Disability scholarships in Canada come from a number of sources. For instance there is a Great-West Life Graduate Scholarship in Disability Management from the University of Northern British Columbia. The eligible province is British Columbia. The monetary award is $3,000 and you must have a masters to apply. Normally a masters Canadian scholarship pays much more then an undergraduate award.

For example, the Focus Bursary Canadian Scholarships for disabled studies pays $1,000 for a student who is a resident of Saskatchewan awarded by the University of Saskatchewan. You must be a full time student to receive the award also.

The Scottish Rite Charitable Foundation of Canada is a Graduate Student Research Award which is a Canadian Scholarship only for Ph.D. students. It pays up to $10,000 to eligible applicants. You can use this Canadian disability scholarship at any university and the participating provinces are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and good old Saskatchewan.
