Loran Award

The selection of a Loran Scholar is unique in its attention to a young person’s character. We believe that integrity, courage, grit and personal autonomy are better indicators of overall potential than standard academic measures. To discover these traits, we administer the most comprehensive and thorough scholarship selection process in Canada. Tenable at 25 partner universities, the Loran Award is valued at $100,000 over four years, including mentorship, funding for summer internships and participation in an extensive network of past and present scholars. This year, we are offering up to 36 Loran Awards. In addition, we are granting up to 120 finalist and provincial & territorial awards ($5,000 or $2,000 each, respectively) to promising candidates.

Renewable for up to four years, with a total value of $100,000, each Loran Award includes:

• An annual living stipend of $10,000
• A tuition waiver of up to $10,000 annually from one of 25 partner universities
• Personal mentorship from a Canadian leader
• Experiential learning through summer work experiences in three different sectors with funding up to $14,000
• An orientation expedition through Algonquin Park
• Annual retreats and scholar gatherings
• Lifelong membership in a community of values-driven individuals
