About this award

You can receive $684.00. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a graduate student focusing your research on the biology and ecology of moose and have a demonstrated financial need. You must apply by February 2, 2027. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you will hear back — whether by email, the portal, or phone. Winners are chosen based on a recommendation from the Chair of the Department of Biology and the Dean of the Faculty of Forestry and the Forest Environment to the Office of Graduate Studies. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Lakehead University how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Lakehead University during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Lakehead University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a graduate student pursuing research on the biology and ecology of moose. You must also show financial need. Additionally, you must be a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant of Canada, and you must have lived in Ontario for at least twelve months in a row.
