About this award

You can receive $2,633. This is a bursary, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a graduate student in any discipline who is facing financial challenges while pursuing your degree. 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. Selection is based on financial need. 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 graduate student in any discipline. To qualify, 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 up to the beginning of your full-time post-secondary studies. This award is granted on the basis of financial need.
