About this award

You can receive $861.00. 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 full-time graduate student in any program who is facing financial need. 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. You are automatically considered for this award based on your completed General Application. 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

To qualify, you must be a full-time graduate student in any program at Lakehead University. You must be a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant of Canada. Additionally, you must have lived in Ontario for at least twelve months in a row. This award is granted on the basis of financial need.

Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your budget. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your monthly expenses and income. List your specific costs for rent, food, and books to show why you need this funding.
StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every single section of the Lakehead University awards portal thoroughly. Since you are automatically considered, a complete profile is your only way to enter the running.
RealismAvoid assuming this award will cover all your gaps. Instead, treat this $861.00 as a helpful supplement while you look for larger research fellowships. Check the portal for other bursaries that match your specific program.
