Academic Entrance Scholarships (Domestic)

Lakehead University, Canada

Scholarship overview

Lakehead University automatically considers every student entering directly from a recognized Canadian high school curriculum for an Academic Entrance Scholarship; the university states it provides over $11 million annually across its scholarships, bursaries and awards.
