About this award
You will receive $806.00. 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 student starting your graduate studies in English and have a strong interest in Canadian literature. 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 Department of English reviews candidates and forwards a recommendation to 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
To qualify, you must be a high-ranking student entering graduate studies in English. You are also required to have successfully completed English 2702 – Literature of Canada’s First Nations.
