Wilfrid Laurier University Inspiring Lives Scholarship

About this scholarship

The Wilfrid Laurier University Inspiring Lives Scholarship is an entrance scholarship exclusively for international students beginning undergraduate study at Laurier. The award recognizes students who inspire lives of leadership and purpose through their communities and extracurricular activities. Laurier lists the value from CAD $500 to CAD $5,000, and the award can be stacked with entrance scholarships and other competitive scholarships and awards. It is partial funding because even the maximum value does not cover full tuition, residence, food, books, health insurance, travel, and personal expenses. Eligible students must have applied to Laurier, accepted their offer, and be entering first year of undergraduate studies in the fall term in any undergraduate program at any Laurier campus. Students must be paying full-time international tuition fees in the fall term to receive the scholarship. There is no minimum admission average required to apply. A separate scholarship application is required, including a video of no more than two minutes explaining how the applicant inspires lives of leadership and purpose. The 2026 round is closed and recipients have been notified, so the next cycle is recorded as TBA.
