Research the location of Canada's journalism studies online (see Resource section). In 2010, seven of of the country's ten provinces offered programs. Be aware, however, of the vast regional, cultural and educational differences of studying in those areas. For example, journalism in Quebec features studies in French. Find a good fit for you.
Create a spreadsheet in order to note the requirements and restrictions in your scholarships of interest. The Bill Cameron Award in Journalism, for example, can be applied to any field of study, as long as you do it at the University of Regina. In fact, many journalism scholarships require that you attend a specific school.
Contact the journalism department at your schools of interest to discover if "journalism" is considered one field of study within new media. The CPAC Journalism Scholarship, for example, also applies to studies of communications and related programs. You may discover a wider vocational mandate that enables you to apply for a wider number of scholarships.
Draft a budget for your educational costs: tuition, supplies and living expenses. You may be able to combine multiple scholarships to assist you with those costs. In order to enhance accuracy, determine as many costs as you can online (such as transit passes and current housing rental rates). The more realistic your budget, the more realistic your plans for achieving it.
Once you have found the scholarships you want, create a list of documents needed for the applications, such as transcripts and letters of recommendation. Get busy on those as soon as possible, as post-secondary applications in Canada are processed many months before students' start dates. You can send many of those applications online.
Enroll in a journalism course in high school. Extra-curricular commitment looks great to college or university admissions officers. You can begin to acquire the skills of your future while preparing scholarship applications to finance it. You can look like a pro before you become one.
