Awards
A wide range of scholarships, awards & bursaries are available to students who pursue their education at the University of Lethbridge.
We understand that the process of applying for awards, bursaries, and scholarships can be overwhelming, but we’re here to support you every step of the way. Some awards are granted based primarily on academic proficiency, however other criteria (e.g. financial need, leadership potential, community involvement, artistic ability, athletic skill, etc.) may also be considered.
Many of our awards are granted through our general awards cycle, which requires only two applications. Some additional awards require separate, direct applications.
Awards Cycle
Our General Awards cycle opens each year in January. Many of our scholarships, awards & bursaries are granted through this process.
