Loran Scholars Foundation

Every year, the Loran Scholars Foundation invests in exceptional young Canadians who demonstrate character, service and leadership.  They look for qualities that a transcript alone cannot show: personal integrity and character; commitment to service and an entrepreneurial spirit; breadth in academic and extra-curricular interests; strongly developed inner-directedness; and outstanding overall potential for leadership.  Through the country's most rigorous and personalized selection process, which includes interviews at the regional and national level, we select up to 34 of the 4,000 applicants as Loran Scholars. Each Loran Scholar receives an award valued at up to $100,000 for their undergraduate studies.  For four years, they receive the mentorship, financial independence and opportunities to seek out how they can most effectively contribute to society.  Graduating scholars join a network of nearly 400 alumni who support each other as they take on leadership responsibilities beyond their years in business, public policy, medicine, law, academia, the arts and many other disciplines. Please be advised that this award is not specifically intended for Grey Bruce students, however, it has either been won in the past by a local student and/or it is a significant resource for post-secondary achievement goals.
