Eighty graduating high school and CEGEP students (listed below) will attend the Loran Scholars Foundation’s national selections in Toronto on February 5 and 6, 2016.
We received more than 4,200 applications this year and interviewed 400 students in 22 different cities. Our rigorous selection process is designed to seek out evidence of character – integrity, courage, compassion, grit and a high level of personal autonomy – in young leaders who are committed to serving others. The 80 finalists come from all walks of life, hailing from Canada’s largest cities as well as smaller communities. At national selections, our interviewers will select 30 Loran Scholars.
Since 1988, the Loran Scholars Foundation has provided more than $28 million in undergraduate awards to promising young Canadians on the basis of character, service and leadership potential. Tenable at one of 25 partner universities, the Loran Award is valued at up to $100,000 over four years, including annual stipends and tuition waivers, mentorship, funding for summer internships, annual retreats and a weeklong orientation expedition. Finalists not selected as Loran Scholars are eligible to receive a $3,000 finalist award.
