How to Use the Scholarship Database

The Searchable Scholarship and Bursary Database lists every monetary award available to students at Brandon University. In order to optimize your search, you may wish to use the following methods to find awards that apply to your particular situation.

To Sort by Column:

1. Click on the column title.

2. Select either the “up” or “down” icons to sort in ascending or descending order.

*TIP* You may wish to sort by “Apply”, “Amount”, “Faculty” or “Department” to find your suitable awards more quickly.

To Search by Specific Criteria:

1. Click on the column title.

2. Select the option listed in the drop-down menu that best applies to your circumstances.

ie. You can select the “Apply” icon to show only awards that require you to apply, or use the “Apply Method”, “Type”, “Faculty”, or “Department” to narrow down the list.

For a More General Search:

At the top of the database there is a field with a “Search” button beside it. Using this field (as opposed to the drop-down ones in the column headers) will allow you to search the entire database for words that are not specific to, say, a faculty or department name. Some examples are “accounting”, “law”, “dentistry”, and other words that might help you find awards that are specific to your area of study.

*TIP* Entering one term, hitting the search button and then entering another term will actually further narrow down your search. To REPLACE your original search term, you MUST click the “Remove Filter” icon next to the words “Row text contains ‘……’ (whatever your search term was)”.

*TIP* Clicking the “Remove Filter” icon at any time will remove that search item and broaden your search again.
