Lakehead University is on my list of potential schools, and I’d like to find out more about the scholarships they offer to international students. Could someone share insights into the application process and what scholarships are available?
Lakehead University offers several scholarships to international students. To start with, all international students are automatically awarded an International Entrance Scholarship of $4,000 CAD, with no separate application required.
If you have significant financial need, you might want to look into the International Bursary Program. This is needs-based financial aid and you need to apply separately for this. Pay close attention to deadlines, as late applications usually can't be considered.
On top of these university-wide scholarships, different departments may offer their own scholarships, too. It would be beneficial to get in touch with the department you're applying to and ask if there are any department-specific scholarships they offer to international students.
Just a note—scholarships often require you to maintain a certain GPA, so make sure you know the terms of any scholarship you are awarded.
Lastly, it's wise to start this process early. Deadlines may vary by scholarship, but they're usually quite early, perhaps even before you get your acceptance. So it's best to stay on top of this to maximize your chances!
