- An academic excellence entrance scholarship is applied directly against tuition fees for the recipient's first academic year of study. Half of the scholarship amount will be applied to the first semester tuition fees. 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.
