  • “Help me apply for in-course scholarships in Ontario”

    I want help working out how to apply for scholarships in Ontario as a second-year university student.

    I'm at York University in Toronto studying kinesiology, on OSAP, and I work 20 hours a week. I've only ever applied for entrance awards. I know there are in-course scholarships through my faculty plus outside awards, but every portal has different rules and I don't know which ones I qualify for.

    I need a review of my SSHRC master's scholarship application, my first big scholarship for masters in Canada.

    I'm finishing a BA in sociology at the University of Manitoba and applying to master's programs at Manitoba, Ottawa and Concordia. The tri-agency master's scholarship application is due in about four weeks. My research proposal is drafted but it's too broad, and I'm not sure how to describe my research experience as an undergrad.

  • “Scholarships for international students in Canada: essay review”

    I need help with my essays for scholarships for international students in Canada, as a second-year student at UBC.

    I'm in second-year computer science at UBC Vancouver and pay international tuition. I'm applying to two in-course awards for international students and one departmental award. Each wants a short leadership statement and a note on financial circumstances, and my drafts either undersell what I've done or sound like I'm complaining about fees.

  • “Scholarships and bursaries plan for a mature college student”

    I want to learn how to apply for scholarships and bursaries as a 34-year-old going back to college in Alberta.

    I start a two-year business administration diploma at a polytechnic in Calgary in January, after ten years in retail management. I'll have a student loan, but I'm also supporting a household, so every bursary counts. I don't know where mature students find awards, or how to write a financial need statement without it reading like a sob story.

    I graduated high school in Halifax last year, spent this year working and volunteering with a coastal cleanup group, and I'm applying to Dalhousie, McGill and the University of Toronto for next fall. Each has major entrance awards that ask for a leadership essay or short answers plus a reference. My drafts describe what I did but not why it mattered.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in Canada.

  • 01

    How much does scholarship applications cost in Canada?

    Usually C$80–400. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    What is the difference between a scholarship and a bursary in Canada?

    Scholarships are usually based on grades, leadership or other merit, while bursaries are based mainly on financial need. Many university portals list both, and you can often apply for each.

  • 03

    Can OSAP students still get scholarships?

    Yes. Being on OSAP does not stop you from applying for scholarships or bursaries. Read each award's terms and OSAP's rules on reporting other funding.

  • 04

    What makes a strong master's research proposal for SSHRC?

    A focused question, a method that fits a master's timeline and a clear reason it matters. Proposals that try to cover too much for one or two years are a common weak point.

  • 05

    How early should I share my SSHRC draft?

    At least three weeks before the deadline. That leaves time for comments, a rewrite and a final read, plus any internal steps your university sets before the agency deadline.

  • 06

    How do I write about finances in a scholarship statement?

    Be brief and factual: state the gap and what you are doing to manage it, such as work or savings. Then return to your goals and what the award lets you do.

  • 07

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 08

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
