About this award

You can receive $2,976.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an incoming graduate student in English who has achieved the highest academic ranking among your peers. 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, a portal notification, or a phone call. Selection is based on your academic rank, though Lakehead University will also consider your financial need. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask Lakehead University how they weigh grades versus financial need and how many applicants they typically receive 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 the highest-ranking student entering graduate studies in English at Lakehead University. While academic rank is the primary factor, financial need will also be considered.

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid submitting a generic application. Instead, reach out to the English department at Lakehead University to express your interest in the program and the memorial scholarship. This shows your genuine appreciation for learning.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the February 2 deadline. Instead, complete your General Application early. Since you are automatically considered based on that application, finishing it now removes the risk of technical glitches later.
• RealismAvoid treating this as a guaranteed fund. Instead, remember that this is awarded to only one student—the highest-ranking one. Apply for multiple bursaries and scholarships to diversify your funding sources.
