About this award

You can receive $648.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a graduate student in the Department of History who needs help covering research expenses for your Master's thesis (a regular thesis that gets examined by faculty). 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 History chooses the recipient and forwards the selection to the Office of Graduate Studies. 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.

Tips for applying

• Research StatementAvoid giving a vague overview of your interests. Instead, clearly list the specific research expenses this $648.00 will cover. Detail exactly how the funds will help you complete your Master's thesis.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your application until the last minute. Instead, complete your General Application early since you are automatically considered based on that form. Double-check that your department and program are correctly listed.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed. Instead, remember that it is a single award for one student in the department. Treat this as a helpful supplement rather than your primary research budget.
