Applying for bursaries through UWO?

[ellorie]

Is this something we should do - I mean, filling out that online application on the financial aid website? It asks you to list your provincial and bank loans, and since the amount of my LoC and Alberta loans exceed tuition, is there any point in applying? It asks you to write why you need additional funds, and with my LoC, I technically don't, but if there's any way I can use less of my LoC, I'd like to get on that...

Apply! You do not need to list parental income and a line of credit is not income, neither is OSAP/Alberta loans. I think most people who apply get 3000 off tuition from Western which means less debt for you! Have an awesome weekend

I think it's took late to apply for Schulich specific bursaries, but you can still apply for UWO bursaries (I.e. school wide instead of department specific).

Wait until the school year to apply for school bursaries as the deadline isn't until some time well into the school year (if I recall correctly, the deadline was Oct/Nov). I actually received more by waiting than from the Schulich bursary.
