Get the Most Out of Your Financial Aid Options

University education is a financial investment, and the best universities are often the most expensive. Before deciding to limit your choices, here are a few suggestions for getting the most bang for your buck.

Calculate your options

Careful planning is the key to making the most of your financial resources, including scholarships. At Glion, we make this step easy by listing our tuition fees as a complete package, including room and board. You can also find information about Canadian student grants, bursaries, and loans, along with our payment plans, on Glion’s scholarship page.

Apply early for scholarships

An early application is more likely to get a positive response and a larger piece of the scholarship pie. For example, Glion’s Presidential Scholarships (10%, 15%, 20%) are awarded on a first-applied, first-served basis to candidates who show their motivation, talent and initiative. Right now, you may still be able to receive a Glion scholarship for the summer 2014 intake if you apply before May 15, 2014.

Look for a good ROI

Not all university programs are equal in terms of offsetting the cost, but hospitality management degrees offer a great Return on Investment (ROI). An average of 85% of Glion’s 2013 graduates had a job or multiple offers on graduation day, and 65% of Glion Alumni are working in management or executive positions.

Speak to an advisor about your options

At Glion, we encourage prospective scholars to spend some time talking through their plans and their career goals (however provisional they may be at this stage) with Sarah Humphrey, Regional Admissions Director for Canada.
