ENTRANCE AWARDS - OPEN TO ANY PROGRAMS AT LAURENTIAN UNIVERSITY (SUDBURY CAMPUS)

Unless otherwise specified, applications for entrance scholarships are not required since they are awarded on academic merit. Application deadline is May 1st of each year. Not all awards need to be awarded each year. The University may withdraw any award for which, in any year, no qualified applicant is found. In order that scholarships and bursaries may be equitably distributed, the committee reserves the rights to restrict the value of scholarships that any one student may receive. The committee also avoids the awarding of multiple scholarships wherever possible.
