The Loran Scholar
Experience
Becoming a Loran Scholar will launch you on an inspiring, life-long journey to create positive change. It is a transformational opportunity to grow by challenging your limits, and to develop your ability to lead with integrity, in order to build a brighter future for all.
The Loran Award offers a four-year leadership-enrichment program, financial support for undergrad, diverse opportunities for experiential learning, and a long-term supportive community of peers and mentors—people who will inspire and motivate you in your pursuit to make a difference.
Offered in partnership with 25 Canadian universities, and renewable for up to four years, the Loran Award is valued at more than $100,000 over four years of undergraduate study.
Being a Loran Scholar comes with challenges and responsibilities, as well.
Scholars are expected to:
- Complete their undergraduate studies at one of Loran’s 25 partner universities
- Demonstrate continued growth in community service and leadership throughout their undergraduate studies
- Participate in the mentorship program, experiential learning, and annual community gatherings
- Live in residence on campus during their first year of undergrad, and independently in their university community during their upper years
- Maintain a minimum B+ (77%) CPGA
Each year, Loran also grants over $400,000 annually to outstanding applicants at the national and semi-final levels.
