- An academic excellence entrance scholarship is applied directly against tuition fees for the recipient's first academic year of study.

If the recipient has maintained a good academic standing, the other half will be applied to the second semester's tuition fees.
- There is no cash value nor can it be applied to books or supplies.
- There is no refund if a person withdraws.
- There is no cash payout if tuition fees are less than the scholarship amount.
- Recipients must take a 100 per cent course load of classes starting in the fall (includes first and second semester).
- Self-reported marks are not considered. Lakeland College requires an official transcript of your grade 11 marks.
- Other terms and conditions may apply.
No special scholarship application is needed after you apply to Lakeland College. Just submit your grade 11 marks.
We need a signed transcript by April 30. Please include what grade 12 subjects you are taking.
