How to Apply for Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards

Complete your award profiles and applications so that you don't miss out on awards, scholarships and bursaries you may be eligible for.
Check the awards important dates and deadlines to give yourself enough time to gather your required documents and make sure you apply for an award on time.
How to Complete an Awards Application
Before you get started, here are some reminders:
- Check your MyLaurier email regularly for application updates.
- Submit your application on time because late submissions will not be accepted.
LORIS is used to complete applications. To learn more about the system and how to use it, see the LORIS page.
To access your profiles:
- Log in to LORIS.
- Select the Student Awards and Financial Aid tab.
- Select View My Applications.
- Select View/Modify.
Check out the video below to learn more about how you can access your student applications(s).
For first-time applications:
- Log in to LORIS.
- Click the “Student Awards and Financial Aid” tab.
- Click the “Student Awards Applications” link to access the student application(s).
While the submission of a financial statement (included in some of the profiles) is not mandatory, we strongly recommend you complete this section as many award opportunities have a “financial need” component.
Watch the video below to learn how to upload documents, delete documents, re-upload documents and where to monitor your document status.
You can review and make changes to your submissions up until the deadline. View your submissions by selecting the "View my Applications" tab. Make sure the application shows as "submitted."
Once the deadline has passed, your profile will show the status of "EXPIRED."
Next Steps
Decision Making
Recipients of competitive opportunities are notified via their @mylaurier.ca email between October and March.
All decisions regarding awards are at the discretion of the Student Awards Office. Decisions on recipients for all competitive opportunities are made on an ongoing basis.
If you complete the profile, there is no guarantee that you will be the successful recipient of an award. The profiles are competitive opportunities and the most eligible candidate(s) is chosen as the recipient.
If you do not receive an award this year, this does not mean that you will not be eligible in another year. By filling out the profile(s) every year, you will have the best opportunity to receive an award!
