Loran 2024 Scholarship Application

Loran Scholarship Application

The Loran Scholarship is one of Canada’s most renowned and rewarding prizes. The Loran Award, which is available at 25 partner colleges, is worth $100,000 over four years and includes mentorship, money for summer internships, and involvement in a vast network of past and present scholars.

Loran Scholarship Application

The Loran Scholarship application period is held each year in September/October. Shortlisted candidates are contacted at least two weeks before their semi-final interview date after submitting supplemental evaluations.

The Loran committees assess all applications and invite those who have been shortlisted (semi-finalists) to online interviews. These interviews provide semi-finalists with the opportunity to network with one another, meet the local leaders who act as Loran interviewers and receive critical interview experience.

Semi-final interviews will take place between the middle of November and the middle of December. Candidates chosen for semi-final interviews will be notified at least two weeks before their interview date.

The committees invite excellent semi-finalists to participate in their national interviews following semi-final interviews. The committees also bestow provincial and territory awards ($2,000 each) as well as honor citations on semi-finalists who distinguish themselves at the semi-final level.
