The scholarship is available to the top international high school students applying to Lakehead University for 2017-2018.

How and When are Entrance Scholarship Offers Made?

Entrance Scholarship averages are awarded based on the Canadian equivalent of your average used for admission consideration. Scholarship Offers will be extended in two rounds. Round One will take place in February 2017, and Round Two will take place in April 2017. A limited number of International Entrance Scholarships are available. International students considering Lakehead University are encouraged to apply to the University early in order to be considered for the two Entrance Scholarship rounds. 

Is my Scholarship Renewable?

Yes - Students awarded an International Entrance Scholarship valued at $5,000/year and greater may renew their entrance scholarship provided the minimum academic requirements are met.  Renewable International Entrance Scholarships will be paid at the rate received, either $7,500 or $5,000, and are available for a maximum of 4 years.  Students must maintain a minimum 80% average in each academic year, according to the terms found in the Scholarship Offer.  A normal full course load is required in each year of study.

No - Students awarded an International Entrance Scholarship of $4,000 are non-renewable, and are a one-time payment.

Can my entrance scholarship be applied to my academic English program costs?

No. Your Entrance Scholarship will be applied to your first year tuition to an undergraduate degree program once you have successfully completed Lakehead University's Academic English Program.
