Lakehead International Entrance Scholarship - 80-89% Performance

What you will need

• ✓ No scholarship application: you are considered automatically when you apply for admission
• ✓ Entering Year 1, 2 or 3 of a minimum 4-year undergraduate degree program at Lakehead University
• ✓ An admission average of 80.0% to 89.9% (Canadian equivalent) or an IB average of 30 to 34

About this award

You can receive a total of $30,000, which is paid as $7,500 per year for up to 4 years. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a non-Canadian citizen who has excelled in high school and is moving to Canada for your undergraduate studies. There is no scholarship deadline: you are considered automatically when you apply for admission, and the offer is included in your Letter of Acceptance. You are automatically considered for this award based on the Canadian equivalent of your admission average; no separate application is required. The number of scholarships is unlimited, so every admitted student in this average band receives one. The money is applied to your tuition. If you take Lakehead University's Academic English Program first, the scholarship does not cover that program; it is applied to your first-year degree tuition once you have completed it. To keep this scholarship for the full 4 years, you must achieve an 80% average in each academic year. If your status changes and you begin paying domestic fees, Lakehead University will reassess your award value to match the domestic scholarship grid.

Who qualifies

You must be a non-Canadian citizen entering Years 1, 2, or 3 of a minimum 4-year undergraduate degree program at Lakehead University. You can enter from a high school or transfer from an international college or university. To qualify for this specific value, you need an Academic Average (Canadian Equivalent) between 80.0% and 89.9%, or an IB (International Baccalaureate — a global standardized curriculum) average between 30 and 34.

Tips for applying

• Academic RecordsAvoid submitting unofficial transcripts if official ones are available. Instead, ensure your documents are certified translations of your original grades. Contact your previous school to send transcripts directly to Lakehead University.
• SupportAvoid relying solely on an agent for admission updates. Instead, monitor your own student portal and email daily. Set up a dedicated folder for all correspondence from the admissions office.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the English language requirements. Instead, if you need the Academic English Program, plan your budget knowing this scholarship does not cover it and only applies to your degree tuition after you finish it. Map out your first semester costs including the English program fees.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will receive the full $30,000 whatever your grades. Instead, treat the 80% yearly average as a strict requirement you must meet to keep the funding. Create a study plan to maintain this average from your first term.
