Applications are open for the 2024 Loran Award, and we need your
help to find the next cohort of scholars!
We are offering up to 36 Loran Awards to graduating high school students entering university
in the fall of 2024.
The only award of its kind in Canada, the Loran Award (www.loranscholar.ca) is valued at
more than $100,000 over four years of university undergraduate studies, including an annual
stipend, matching tuition waivers, mentorship, funding for summer work experiences, and
participation in an extensive network of past and present Loran Scholars. Selected on the basis
of character, commitment to service, and the potential for leadership, Loran Scholars are
young people who are humble, inquisitive, and thoughtful; who shun the status quo and pursue
unique paths; who collaborate and bring others along; and who will act in the face of injustices
to build a better future for all.
Last year, we selected 36 exceptional young people from across the country. In the last five
years, we have selected 2 young people from PEI – we would love your support in selecting
even more exceptional young people from your area!
School counsellors are integral to the identification of these amazing young people, who
often don’t self-identify as ‘scholarship material’. One of Loran’s first scholars, who went on to
lead the foundation for 13 years, fully credits her school counsellor for tapping her on the
shoulder and insisting she apply. This is a story we hear time and again.
In addition to the 2024 Loran Awards, we will grant up to $400,000 in additional awards to 124
Finalists and Provincial & Territorial recipients ($6,000 or $2,000 each, respectively) to
promising candidates. Because there are so many opportunities for young people to succeed in
our selection process, applying is always worth the effort!
