IN-COURSE AWARDS

GEOLOGY

Students must fill out an application form for in-course scholarships (2nd, 3rd and 4th year) where specified.

These are available to download from this website. These are awarded on academic merit and financial need where specified, or both. Unless otherwise specified, application deadline is June 1 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. Additional information and application forms may be obtained at the Student Awards Office, Laurentian University, Ramsey Lake Rd., Sudbury, Ontario P3E 2C6

In addition to the individual academic program awards and bursaries please refer to the “Open to all programs” section for more available financial funding.
