About this award

You can receive $5,196.00. 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 graduate student in an education program who is facing financial challenges while completing 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. Selection is based on financial need, and the award is granted to 4 full time students. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Lakehead University how they verify financial need and 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.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, use specific numbers to show your monthly shortfall. List your exact tuition and living costs compared to your current income.
• SupportAvoid submitting your application without checking your portal profile. Instead, ensure your financial disclosure forms are fully updated. Double-check that your current income reflects your latest tax year.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out the general form. Instead, complete the General Application early since this award considers you automatically based on that submission. Submit your general profile well before the February 2 deadline.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed grant. Instead, remember that only 4 students receive this funding. Apply for several other bursaries at Lakehead University to increase your chances of coverage.
