5,194 students applied this year and the top 88 finalists from travelled to Toronto for National Selections on January 31st and February 1st. Our interviewers selected 36 Loran Scholars (our largest cohort yet) from across Canada who demonstrate a firm commitment to character, service and leadership potential; breadth in academic and extra-curricular interests; integrity; and a high level of personal autonomy.
The Loran Award is comprised of an annual living stipend and matching tuition waiver from one of the foundation's 25 partner universities; tri-sectoral summer internships funding (enterprise, public policy, and community development); one-on-one mentorship; and the opportunity to connect with other high-potential youth through scholar gatherings.
