About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a mature student who balances your studies with a deep commitment to helping others through volunteering and community leadership. You must apply by January 31, 2027. When you apply, ask Lakehead University how and when you will hear back — whether it is through email, the portal, or a phone call. 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 mature student enrolled in the Honours Bachelor of Social Work degree program at the Thunder Bay campus. You can be enrolled in either full-time or part-time studies. To qualify, you must be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident. Selection is based on your financial need and your demonstrated community involvement through volunteerism, advocacy, or leadership.
