About this award

You can receive a grant of $2,670.00 for the academic year. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. Lakehead University can support more than one student if needed, up to the maximum payout amount for that year. This is for you if you are a graduate student in any program 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 will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Lakehead University how winners are chosen and roughly 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 a graduate student in any program. To qualify, you must demonstrate financial need. 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.
