About this award

You will receive $602.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a high-achieving graduate student pursuing your studies in the English program at Lakehead University. You must apply by February 2, 2027. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you will hear back — whether by email, the portal, or phone. The Department of English selects a high-ranking student and forwards that choice to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Lakehead University how they define high-ranking and roughly 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

You must be a high-ranking graduate student currently enrolled in the English program at Lakehead University.

Tips for applying

• Academic ExcellenceAvoid focusing only on your final grades. Instead, highlight specific academic achievements or research milestones that prove you are a high-ranking student. Mention a specific project or paper that earned top marks.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to complete your profile. Instead, submit your General Application early since you are automatically considered once it is finished. This ensures no technical glitches stop your entry on February 2.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Instead, remember that this is based on academic ranking among your peers in the English department. Keep looking for other bursaries to diversify your funding.
