Camosun College

Overview

I opted for this college because I originally applied, and got accepted, to it for the Nursing program which is extremely innovative as they just designed a brand new, high tech building for the health sciences. Although I switched to Business, the college still has affordable costs and small class sizes to optimize learning and it offers a transfer program. The college is in my hometown and I grew up spending a lot of time there watching volleyball. Throughout high school, I had a 4.0 GPA but I wanted to stay close to home.

Scholarship

I have applied for a couple of scholarships and a bursary. The bursary was a simple online application through Camosun that counted for multiple bursaries and the scholarship required and essay on my family history and an application as well as an attached copy of my transcript.
