Scholarship Information for Grade 12s and their Parents/Guardians.  Grade 12s and their families would benefit from spending a little time exploring scholarship opportunities for post secondary training.  The RSS website has links to scholarship databases including ScholarshipsCanada.com and Studentsscholarship.org, and you will also find information about an assortment of opportunities that are advertized to our school.   These are posted by Mr. Wilson as we receive them.  Also,  Grade 12s can ask their parents or caregivers if any scholarship opportunities are available through their employment, or involvement with clubs or other organizations.  The Post-Secondary institutions that you are applying to may also have scholarships and bursaries available - be sure to spend time reading all the posted information on webpages you visit and review all the contents of emails that are sent to you by those institutions.

In early February, Grade 12s will meet with Mr. Gale to learn about how to apply for "Local Scholarships".   Local Scholarships are those that are given out by community members and organizations specifically for graduates of RSS.  If you have ever been to an RSS Graduation Ceremony you will have seen these scholarships being announced.    You can review the application process on the Local Scholarship page of the RSS website where last year's information is still posted - this year the task will be largely the same.  Please do not start applying for Local Scholarships yet - wait until our February meeting and ensure that all the information is current for your year of graduation.
