Student Affairs Weekly - January 19, 2018

We recognize that our students work hard, study hard, and are contributing members of society as they educate themselves at Lakehead University. That is why we have developed the Lakehead Experiential Advantage. We want to provide you with the opportunity to go out and learn more about your field, your passion, and your interests.

The Lakehead Experiential Advantage is funding to help provide you with an opportunity to gain extraordinary experience while completing your full-time studies. The focus is to help support student-driven education/initiatives that provide hands-on learning experiences.

Presenting/attending a conference, providing assistance to establish/strengthen initiatives that benefit the university or local community are examples of how this fund can help you. The possibilities are limitless.

To qualify you must be:

• An undergraduate student currently enrolled full-time at Lakehead University

• A Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident

• A resident of Ontario

• Participating in non-credit, student-driven education or initiatives within the current academic year.

Apply through myAwards. More information is available on myAwards or Student Central.

Did you know that beginning January 1, 2018, the province will provide free prescription drug coverage to children and youth under the age of 24, regardless of family income?  You don’t need to enrol – all you need is a health card number and an eligible prescription.  

Go to https://www.ontario.ca/page/learn-about-ohip-plus to learn more and find out if your medication is covered.
