Our rigorous selection process is designed to seek out evidence of character – integrity, determination, resilience, kindness, and personal autonomy – in young Canadians who are committed to serving others and who show sparks of leadership potential. These 88 finalists come from all walks of life and corners of Canada. At National Selections, our interviewers will select up to 36 Loran Scholars to join the 2020 class of Loran Scholars.
Since 1988, the Loran Scholars Foundation has provided $50 million in undergraduate awards to promising young Canadians on the basis of character, service, and leadership. The Loran Award is valued at $100,000 over four years, including a $10,000 annual stipend, tuition waivers from any one of our 25 partner universities, mentorship, funding for summer internships, annual retreats, and a weeklong orientation expedition in Algonquin Park. Finalists not selected as Loran Scholars are eligible to receive a $5,000 finalist award tenable at any Canadian public university.
