We give out over $1.4 million in scholarships, bursaries, and awards annually, but our awards are just the tip of the iceberg.
There are many other community, organization, service club and company sources of scholarships and bursaries.
You can start with the scholarships available in your province. For example, the Alberta Government offers scholarships and bursaries. There are also national scholarship databases such as ScholarshipsCanada.
Or, look for specific awards based on your interests, past activities, place you live and heritage.
This page lists some of the many companies, foundations and organizations that have asked us to share their award. For your convenience, we've divided the list into categories related to our programs as well as other criteria.
Note: Every effort has been made to ensure links were correct when they were posted. If you have difficulty with one, please email financialaid@lakelandcollege.ca with the name of the link.
