About this award

You get $557.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a second-year graduate student in the Department of History who has excelled in your coursework and moved into the research phase of your degree. 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. Winners are chosen based on who achieves the highest marks in course work and has had their thesis proposal accepted. The Department of History recommends a student to the Office of Graduate Studies for the award. Selection criteria aren't published beyond these requirements — 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.
