About this award

You can receive $2,275. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a female graduate student pursuing advanced studies in natural resource management and have maintained a strong academic record. You must apply by February 2, 2027. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Ask Lakehead University how many students usually apply, 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 identify as female and have high academic standing. You must be enrolled full-time in one of two paths: either a course-based Master’s student in a dual-degree Master’s program of the Faculty of Natural Resources Management, or a PhD student in a cotuelle (jointly supervised) PhD program of the Faculty of Natural Resources Management. A preference will be given to students who are Canadian or Belgian.

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid providing a generic character reference. Instead, ask a professor from the Faculty of Natural Resources Management to highlight your specific strengths in your dual-degree or cotuelle program.
• RealismAvoid assuming the preference for Canadian or Belgian citizens is a hard requirement. Instead, apply if you meet the primary female and academic criteria, but be aware that nationality may be a deciding factor.
