What we keep
Nothing else is sent until you press the button in the confirmation email. If you never do, the address is deleted within 30 days. Otherwise it goes 60 days after the deadline or the moment you unsubscribe, whichever comes first. A listing with no date keeps it a year at most, and nothing is kept past 18 months. We never sell or trade it. Questions go to hello@scholarab.ca. The full privacy policy.
Worth knowing
Most have no separate application, but the Bozocea award needs a written one. You enter festival classes, and scholarships go to the highest marks across a group of similar classes, at the adjudicator's decision. The 2026 festival's entry deadline was February 5, so check the festival's site in January. Register in both the provincial syllabus and the local addenda.
