Every year at Laurier, we welcome international students from around the world to our campuses. We value the diverse experiences and perspectives of our international students, and recognize the many ways they inspire lives throughout our communities.
The Inspiring Lives Scholarship is a prestigious entrance scholarship available exclusively to international students beginning their undergraduate studies at Laurier. The scholarship is awarded annually to students who inspire lives of leadership and purpose in their communities and through their extracurricular activities.
The scholarship is valued at $1,000 to $5,000 CAD.
All international students who have applied to Laurier and accepted their offer, and are entering their first year of undergraduate studies in the fall term are eligible to apply. Students can be studying in any undergraduate program at any of our campuses.
There is no minimum admissions average required to apply. This scholarship can also be awarded in addition to other entrance scholarships.
Applications for the scholarship open each year in the spring. To apply, students must complete the application and submit a video, no longer than two minutes, describing how they inspire lives of leadership and purpose.
International students who have accepted an undergraduate program offer of admission for fall 2024 can apply here.
Students are invited to schedule an appointment with an enrolment advisor to discuss the scholarship and their application, or to email us at international@wlu.ca for additional support.
We are excited to have awarded 32 Inspiring Lives Scholarships to students from 15 different countries.
