Scholarships, Bursaries, Prizes and Financial Aid The Student Awards Office is responsible for the administration of all forms of financial assistance for undergraduate students. The office administers the University's scholarship and bursary programs under the direction of the Senate Committee on Academic Regulations and Awards, the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), other federal/provincial student assistance programs, and an emergency loan fund. Payment of awards is subject to the availability of funds. Where possible clients with mobility issues will not be required to line-up and will be dealt with on a priority basis. Guidelines for Scholarships Administration Laurentian University undergraduate program recognizes and rewards academic excellence of students who are registered in a full time course load, and who pay tuition fees to Laurentian University. If an applicant fails to renew, he or she remains ineligible for the award for the duration of their studies at Laurentian. Not all scholarships are necessarily awarded each year. Payment of awards is subject to the availability of funds. To ensure that scholarships are equitably distributed, Laurentian University reserves the right to restrict the value of scholarships that any one student may receive. Awards will be applied directly to students’ fee accounts. In the event that the scholarship has a total value exceeding the amount of fees, or that fees have already been paid in full, a refund will issued to the student. Eligibility will be confirmed in October, and awards paid out at the end of October annually. MAJOR SCHOLARSHIPS Major scholarships include the Chancellor’s Scholarship, President’s Scholarship, Dean’s National Scholarship. Students who receive major scholarships are not entitled to receive an Academic Excellence Award, Community Service Bursary, or Leadership Award. For full details on eligibility or renewal criteria, please refer to Laurentian University website.
