You can receive $4,875. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a high-achieving graduate student who needs financial support and is passionate about researching the issues affecting Northwestern Ontario. 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. You will be automatically considered for this award based on your completed General Application. 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.
To qualify, you must be a full-time student entering a graduate program. You must demonstrate high academic standing and financial need. Your intended area of thesis research must involve issues related to Northwestern Ontario. 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.
