Grade 11 students across Canada facing financial hardship

Worth knowing

The Grade 11 timing is the trap that costs Alberta students this award: the window is January 1 to March 31 of your Grade 11 year, for study beginning after you graduate. Household net income must be $80,000 or less and you need a 70 percent average. Horatio Alger Canada runs several programs off related applications, so check the others before you settle on this one: the National Entrepreneurial Scholarships pay $25,000, and the Indigenous Achievement Scholarships take Grade 12 applicants. Quebec CEGEP students apply on a separate stream. Figures corrected against horatioalger.ca on 2026-09-08; an earlier version of this listing understated the income ceiling and the required average.

About this scholarship

Horatio Alger Canada funds students who have come through real adversity. There are 160 awards of $10,000, and you apply in Grade 11, not Grade 12.
