Congratulations to Temitope Akintola and Julianna Head for being selected as semi-finalists by the Loran Scholars Foundation! We are extremely proud of both our young ladies who will attend regional interviews in Sudbury on November 26th as part of the selection process for the Loran Awards, Canada's largest and most comprehensive undergraduate scholarship program.
The Loran Scholars Foundation received 4,438 applications this year from schools across the country. Only the top 10% of candidates are selected as semi-finalists, based on evidence of character, service and leadership potential.
After regional interviews, 84 students across Canada will be invited to interview at the national level. Up to 32 students will be chosen as Loran Scholars, after national interviews, with each scholar receiving a Loran Award valued at $100,000 over four years.
The Loran Scholars Foundation is a national charity that identifies and supports young leaders of character. In addition to selecting Loran Scholars, it will grant up to 54 finalist awards ($3,000 each) and 40 provincial awards ($2,000 each) to promising candidates.
