Academic Awards and Scholarships

Scholarships

A scholarship is a monetary award to assist full-time students in the pursuit of their studies. Scholarships are granted on a competitive basis. The primary consideration in this competition is academic achievement, though other factors, such as extra-curricular involvement, voluntary commitments, citizenship, residency or proven financial need may be required for specific scholarships. An endowed scholarship is granted from investment income generated by the original gift to the university. An annual award is paid directly by the donor on an annual basis. The University may allot scholarships by faculty. The university reserves the right to not award a specific scholarship if it is determined that no eligible applicants are identified. The stated value of scholarships is subject to change. Scholarships offered by the university are tenable only at Laurier.
