You need to think about both internal (through Lakeland College) and external (all the other) awards and scholarships that may be available to you.
Lakeland offers awards, scholarships and bursaries. Learn the difference between the three types of free money by visiting our Searchable Listing in the links below.
Also, don't forget to check out possible awards offered outside of Lakeland. We list some of those possibilities in our external awards page, but this is just a sample. We also suggest:
- Checking around your community for other possibilities.
- Organizations that you, your parents or even your grandparents belong to may also have a scholarship or bursary.
- Does the company you or your parents work for offer scholarship?
- Checking out organizations related to your program of study, they may have an award.
- Checking national listings (some of which are included on our external awards page) for scholarship listings.
Lakeland College uses an online awards platform to administer its awards program. Not only can you search all of our awards, bursaries and scholarships in one place, currently enrolled students can fill in a general application to be considered.
