LORAN SCHOLARS FOUNDATION
The Loran Scholars Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2021 Loran Award

The Loran Scholars Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2021 Loran Award, and we need the help of educators across Canada to identify students who demonstrate strength of character, dedication to serving others in the community, and the promise of leadership potential. 

The individuals we seek possess integrity, courage, compassion, determination, as well as a high level of personal autonomy and self-motivation.

The Loran Award is the largest and most comprehensive merit-based award for young Canadians, valued at up to $100,000 over four years of undergraduate study. It includes study at one of our 25 partner universities, a living stipend, access to funding for tri-sectoral summer experiences in Canada and abroad, mentorship, and participation in a community of supporters and alumni working towards a better country and world.
