As many as you are applicable for... did u know that many scholarships go unawarded?!?! So it's best to fill out the ones that applies to you and the ones that you apply to at least one of the criteria...
wat do u want it to say, i'm a snob and all i want to talk about is how stressed out i am with an average over 90%? like seriously people

The only ones i can think of are very specific ones; like women of Caribbean origin entering engineering at a specific university, etc. that i definitely wouldn't be eligible for

(then again if they were easy to find they would most likely be filled with applications anyway)

Likely you have to hear about them through word of mouth. __ I applied to 15 so far. 1 win, 3 finalists (2 still might win)

I've done a lot (maybe 10 to 15). Do as many as you can - there's no harm in filling out a page or two of information to get some free money.

I applied for more than thirsty in grade 12 and got basically squat. I think I got almost $2000.00, which is just enough to cover college tuition (which is why I can't go to university yet... >.<") and I'm continuing to apply. I think It may be just that I'm not involved enough in the process to stand out. The essays are really what puts it over the top.^^

I applied for probably around 10. At the University of Alberta though you can fill out one application to be considered for close to 300 awards, so that's definitely helpful! I got offered around $72,000 and accepted $22,000 for my first year.
