About this award

You can receive a $300.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a fourth-year undergraduate francophone student with strong academic standing in Applied Life Sciences who embodies a spirit of kindness and lifelong learning. You must apply by January 31, 2027. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you will hear back — whether by email, the portal, or phone. 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.

Who qualifies

You must be a fourth-year undergraduate francophone student with academic standing in Applied Life Sciences. A preference will be given to you if you are from Northwestern Ontario and have an interest in Medicine.

Tips for applying

Academic StandingAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, highlight your quest for learning and any research grants you have received. Mention your specific goals for a career in medicine.
Community InvolvementAvoid simply listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe how you used your Francophone heritage to help others through cultural agencies. Give a concrete example of a time you helped someone feel heard.
StrategyAvoid leaving your profile incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on your General Application, ensure every section of your Lakehead University portal profile is fully updated.
RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Because it is based on academic standing and specific preferences for Northwestern Ontario residents, treat this as a supplement to your other funding plans.
