To apply for a scholarship, you must:

• Be a girl or adult member of Girl Guides of Canada
• Be continuing your GGC membership in the upcoming year and remain an active participant
• Be enrolled or enrolling in a recognized post-secondary institution, which includes university, college or vocational school
• Have your most recent school transcript available to upload with your application
• Have your iMIS (membership) number at hand (note: it would also be helpful to have a copy of your iMIS record so you can review your Guiding awards, positions and volunteer roles)
• Create an account on our online application system
• Not be a past GGC National Scholarship recipient

Before you begin your application, you will need to create an online account.  Click on the Sign-Up button under Need an Account? and follow the prompts.

Once you have created your account you will receive a confirmation email from FluidReview, our online review tool. Click on the confirmation link in the email to complete the account creation process. Remember your account email and password so that you can log into your account to make edits to your application.

If you applied online for a GGC National Scholarship in recent years and continue to use the same email address, your account will still be active. Simply log in to your old account and start a new application.

Once you have created your online account, there are three steps to complete in order to submit your application:
Step 1: Complete the questions in the online application form
Step 2: Upload your school transcript (see details below)
Step 3: Submit your application

Yes, you are able to edit and save your scholarship application.  You can continue working on it at a later date by signing back into your account. Please note, however, that once you submit your application you can no longer make edits.

Please submit your application by 11:59 pm EST April 1, 2019. Late applications will not be accepted.

To submit your school transcript, you will need to upload the transcript into your account as prompted. If you don’t have an electronic version of your transcript, please scan and save a PDF copy of your transcript, which you can then upload with your application.  Please take a moment to review your uploaded transcript to ensure it is clear and readable.

To sign your application, use your mouse to write your signature on the line provided.
