LAURENTIAN UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL STUDENT UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS

Application Deadline: Scholarship payments are processed in November and February.

LOCATION: Canada

Laurentian University is here to help you achieve your educational, career and personal goals by making education at a Canadian university the most accessible ever!  Their scholarships recognize academic achievements and are awarded based on admission average.

ELIGIBILITY:

The scholarships are renewable in subsequent years for a maximum of three years or upon graduation, whichever comes first, provided that the average remains above 80% (LU GPA = 7.5) and all of the other disbursement and renewal regulations are met.  To continue the scholarship at the same value, the average in subsequent years must remain above 80% (7.5 GPA) or 90% (9.5 GPA). If the average decreases in subsequent years, the award will be recalculated on the basis of the above scholarship grid as long as an 80% (GPA = 7.5) average is maintained. If you fail to meet all disbursement and renewal regulations at any point, you will no longer be eligible. For scholarship purposes, the average calculation is not rounded up.

Scholarships are for students in undergraduate programs only

Students with a prior degree are not eligible for the Laurentian University International Academic Excellence Scholarships.

To renew the scholarship, students must have studied full-time in the previous academic year (30 credits—of which 24 credits must have been taken in the Fall/Winter term) (the academic year is defined as May to April of each year for scholarship purposes) and attained a minimum average of 80% (GPA = 7.5).
