About this award

You can receive $1,056.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a dedicated sociology student who needs financial support to continue your advanced studies. You must apply by February 2, 2027. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. The Department of Sociology chooses the recipient based on your financial need and academic performance, then forwards the selection 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 full-time student in the second year of the Sociology graduate program. You must be a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant of Canada. Additionally, you must have lived in Ontario for at least twelve months in a row.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid providing vague statements about needing money. Instead, give specific examples of your current expenses and gaps in your funding. List your monthly costs clearly.
StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out accurately before the deadline.
RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed just because you are in the program. Because it is based on both grades and financial need, treat this as a supplement rather than your primary funding source.
