About this award

You will receive $5,843.00. 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 scientist moving from your undergraduate studies into advanced research in the lab. 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. The Dean of the Faculty of Science and Environmental Studies recommends students to the Office of Graduate Studies. 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

Tips for applying

• Research StatementAvoid writing a generic summary of your interests. Instead, describe the specific laboratory techniques you will use in Chemistry, Biology, or Physics. Detail exactly how your research builds on your previous work at Lakehead University.
• SupportAvoid submitting references without context. Instead, ensure your referees can speak to your academic standing and your ability to handle complex lab work. Provide your referees with a copy of your research goals before they write your letters.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to complete your profile. Since you are automatically considered based on your General Application, spend extra time ensuring every section of that application is polished and complete.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed just because you are recommended by the Dean. Instead, treat this as one part of your overall funding plan. Apply for other graduate research grants simultaneously to secure your full budget.
