Loran Scholarship (due Thursday October 15)

We are thrilled to announce that once again this year, we are offering up to 36 Loran Awards to students entering university in the fall of 2027 who distinguish themselves through their strength of character, commitment to service, and intrinsic sense of values-driven leadership. We are accepting applications from now until Thurs, Oct. 15, 2026, at noon ET.

Our approach to assessing a student’s potential is highly contextual; we do not look exclusively at conventional markers of success, like grades, but instead work to understand how a student has maximized the opportunities available to them. We firmly believe that our community is strengthened through a diversity of voices, interests, experiences, and perspectives. We need your help to ensure this incredible opportunity reaches as many eligible students as possible.

Students may now access our online application at https://loranscholar.ca
