Undergraduate (Domestic) Emergency Funding

If you are experiencing unexpected financial difficulty, Lakehead University may help with a small amount of emergency funding. This would be for unexpected expenses that sometimes occur during the course of your studies at Lakehead University. These are not a replacement for other funding options such as government student loans (e.g. OSAP).

Please contact Student Central to discuss your situation with a Student Central Professional and to obtain guidance on next steps. After discussing your situation and actioning any next steps, a Student Central representative will review and assess your request. Please be sure to submit any forms of supporting documentation (e.g. rental agreements, copy of your bank statement, copy of your monthly bills, etc.) with your application.

International Student Emergency Funding

If you are an international student experiencing financial difficulty due to an unexpected expense, please schedule a meeting with an International Student Advisor to discuss your situation.
