About this award

You receive a one-time payment of $925.00. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a high-ranking graduate student, particularly those of Jewish heritage who are active in their community. 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, phone, or through the awards portal. 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 — since this award may be received only one time by the applicant, you cannot apply for it again in future years.

Who qualifies

You must be a high-ranking graduate student. Preference will be given to students of Jewish heritage who have demonstrated involvement in their Jewish community, the Jewish Community of Thunder Bay or the LUSU (Lakehead University Student Union — the student government body) Jewish Students’ Society.

Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just mentioning you are part of the Jewish community. Instead, describe specific ways you have helped or led within the Jewish Community of Thunder Bay or the LUSU Jewish Students’ Society. List the dates and roles of your involvement.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out your profile. Instead, complete the General Application early since you are automatically considered for this award once that form is finished.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Instead, remember that preference is given to specific community ties and high academic standing. Apply for several different awards to increase your chances.
