La date limite du 15 janvier n'est pas la vraie date limite.
Les demandes d'admission aux universités ontariennes ferment le 15 janvier. Mais les grandes bourses nationales ferment des mois plus tôt, et plusieurs passent par l'école de votre enfant avec des dates de mise en candidature encore plus hâtives. Les familles qui planifient autour de janvier les manquent.

Les bourses ne sont pas la seule horloge distincte
Plusieurs programmes contingentés exigent aussi des demandes supplémentaires avec leurs propres dates et règles (par exemple, McMaster publie que son évaluation CASPer compte pour 20 % de la décision d'admission en sciences infirmières). Les programmes précis de votre enfant déterminent quelles horloges s'appliquent.
À retenir
Pour un élève qui entre en 12e année, l'horloge des bourses démarre en septembre, pas en janvier. Août est le bon mois pour cartographier les bourses et les demandes supplémentaires applicables, pendant qu'il reste du temps.
